28 Elgin Street, Drysdale, Vic 3222

The Brunswick wire fencing and brick-bordered cottage garden illustrate the quality and character of this period-style home. You approach the property along a wide and quiet country road and are immediately drawn to the front porch with its bull nosed verandah.

Pine wood floors lead to the master bedroom, complete with walk thru robes and own bathroom, and overlooking the front garden. A home office/study is located on the opposite side of the hallway. Further into the home, the earthen tones used throughout enrich the dining and family rooms adjacent to the vast colonial kitchen. The brick fireplace with its wide hearth enhances the country ambience of the home and central heating provides additional warmth for those chilly winter evenings.

The expansive and dado-walled formal lounge is perfect for entertaining guests, whilst the three remaining bedrooms beyond all have built in robes. There is a central bathroom with spa. Outside, a mature Claret Ash gracefully drapes the alfresco dining area of the large rear deck surrounding the home which is shaded by its bull nosed verandah during the balmy summer months. Looking northward from the porch the large gums in the near distance remind you of the area's farming past, yet you are within walking distance of all the nearby township has to offer.

A cobblestone driveway runs the full length of the home to the garage and serviced workshop at the rear. In addition, there is the lovely garden of lush green lawn and evergreen flora, raised brick vegetable and flower beds and the hens go about their daily chores in the pen at the back of the yard.
