27-29 Morgan Avenue, Croydon, Vic 3136

Positioned in the prestigious Golf Links estate, surrounded by quality homes of the same stately appeal, 'Morgan Manor' enjoys an elevated and imposing outlook over the avenue, compounded by its private, gatehouse entry.

Once inside the grounds, the home displays an impressive grandeur, with a magnificent Castlemaine stone chimney, high peaked roofing and a flawless weatherboard facade, softened by climbing roses and a leafy abundance, welcoming entry.

A first impression of the home is literally stunning. The timeless appeal and elegance of the manor is at once apparent with rich, kiln dried hardwood flooring complemented by magnificently high ceilings accentuated with finely detailed decorative cornice and plasterwork enriching the large and airy rooms throughout.

Following a traditional floor plan, three vast, light-infused living areas all boasting large windows framing leafy outlooks, are accessed from the grand entry foyer acting as the central hub of the home. Comprising an immense formal sitting room featuring an adjoining and irresistibly inviting sunroom with boxed window seating to three sides, a blazing open fireplace set into a sizeable cavity with timber backing and a copper surround, in addition to French doors leading through to a capacious formal dining room. A considerable family zone showcases an entire wall of grand timber cabinetry, and extends into the casual meals area overseen by the quality modern kitchen superbly appointed with a Paul Bocuse cooker, stone surfaces and stainless-steel splashbacks.

Ascend the timber staircase to the upper level where angular rooflines add a unique depth and dimension to the three considerable bedrooms, each offering expansive windows framing magnificent vistas to the hills, and extensive robing complementing perfectly. The master bedroom enjoys the added appeal of a balcony overlooking the picturesque gardens, and a second bedroom delights in a large window seating providing a quiet and idyllic space to read a book or contemplate the Dandenong Ranges in the distance.

Servicing the bedrooms, a glamorous family bathroom offers a separate shower, large windows framing treetop views over the luxury spa bath, as well as a downstairs bathroom and a massive laundry.
