18 Lalors Road, Healesville, Vic 3777

Built in the 1900s and retaining its exquisite period detail, this beautiful weatherboard home occupies an elevated, fully-fenced corner allotment of 925 sqm approx., near schools, buses and Healesville’s Town Centre. Soaring 10’ ceilings with ornate cornices and roses, leadlight doors and windows and polished timber floors with high skirtings exhibit the elegant décor that only a character house can.

Perfect for everyday living and entertaining, an open plan living and dining room is warmed by an open fireplace, accompanied by an elevated family room with a vaulted ceiling. Renovated to a high standard, the Provincial-inspired kitchen features Caesarstone countertops, soft-close drawers and stainless steel Smeg appliances including a gas cooktop, electric oven and dishwasher. The family room’s French doors open onto a covered entertaining deck and the generous backyard with a shed, while the living room flows outside to a wraparound balcony with tree-top vistas.

The 3 bedrooms are generously robed, including the master bedroom with a north-oriented bay window, decorative fireplace and dual wardrobes. The inclusive bathroom has a separate bath and shower, adjoining a laundry.

A garage/workshop sits beneath the house, complete with a workbench, electricity and access to additional under-house storage. Further highlights: ducted heating, split systems (1 is new), ceiling fans, retractable fly-screen doors, sash windows, a water tank and gated off-street parking, approximately 1km from Healesville’s cafes, famed hotels, distillery, shops and recreation reserves.
