Character and Charm, Past and Present

Set privately amongst the majestic Eucalypts that define this idyllic pocket, this renovated and extended, original period home sits comfortably in its rustic setting. Positioned on a 939 sq m (approx.) corner allotment of a unique, tree-lined laneway that forms part of the historic Wicklow ridgeline.

One of the founding homes of the area, it dates from last century and was once surrounded by orchards. Today the elevated front entry and expansive undercover verandah still look peacefully out over the verdant surrounds. A generous, rear private courtyard deck extends out from the family room via bi-fold doors to create a vast alfresco living space, an entertainer's delight.

With character and charm in abundance, this 4 bedroom home presents an eclectic mix of features including; original (and recycled) timber flooring, restored doors, back-to-back OFPs in kitchen and living room with period mantels, original leadlight detailing and 10 foot ceilings, enhanced by the comfort and convenience of ducted heating and evaporative cooling plus modernised bathrooms and kitchen.

The comfortable living and dining room would once have provided the centre of traditional family living space in the home's early days. Many years on, the adjacent open-plan kitchen/family/meals area offers the choice of a modern alternative with features including timber kitchen benchtops and Blanco appliances.

The main bedroom includes a WIR and ensuite. The 3 further bedrooms have BIRs and share the family bathroom, complete with its original cast iron claw-foot bath and large shower.

Additional features include laundry, lower level gym/utility space, separate home office/studio/teen retreat, 2 car auto garage/workshop, water tank and not forgetting the frequent visitation of local bird and wildlife.

Well positioned with easy access to the Croydon bus service, Luther College, Yarra Valley Grammar, primary schools, Eastlink and the new and improved Ringwood Station/Eastland precinct.
