30 Heads Road, Donvale, Vic 3111

Your escape from the world, standing in total tranquillity, surrounded by serene gardens with plenty of wide open spaces for the kids to stretch their legs (and imaginations), overlooking hills dotted with treetops rather than roof tops, it's hard to believe your right in the heart of Donvale, only 18kms from Melbourne's CBD, with the shops, schools and Eastern Freeway/Eastlink access all just minutes away. Known through past decades as 'The Forgotten Corner', Heads Road boasts a rural streetscape and rustic character. This unique 2+ acre slice of Australian bushland borders the Mullum Mullum Creek and surrounding valley, which supports an abundance of native flora and fauna. To find a home in 2010 with the authentic period grace and elegance of "Girrawheen", this generous farmhouse style home is a rarity. The home offers gracious living, with 5 bedrooms (all with built in robes) and a study/studio/office, 2 bathrooms with ensuite to main bedroom, separate living zones to allow for entertaining and cleverly-zoned bedroom wing for the children. The formal lounge with open fire place, separate dining room, open plan kitchen with granite benches, informal meals, family room with slow combustion fire, lots of natural light, treetop views and access to covered decking for entertaining. Paved and private courtyard surrounds the fully fenced, in-ground, salt-chlorinated pool and garaging for 3 cars. You won't want to miss this one!
