8 Langley Street, Ringwood East, Vic 3135

This significant, historically rich home is looking for someone to create its next chapters. The home that was originally built in the late 1800’s has been sympathetically renovated and extended across time, to create place that anyone with a penchants for period style housing would be proud to own.

The extra wide weatherboard exterior is framed by the greenery of gardens and a welcoming porch, and makes a commanding first impression; once inside, you will continue to be beguiled.

Features within the home such as high ceilings, deep cornices, ceiling roses and high skirtings create a beautiful effect, as does the extensive use of lead lighting that is present in many of the homes windows.

Spaces are generously proportioned, and well designed to cater for families of all sizes. There are dual living areas; each is large and borders an expansive dining space with a picturesque bay window.

The first enjoys gentle rays of morning sun, views to the front garden and the ability to be closed off for additional privacy, whilst the second stands proudly as the original section of the home, displaying ceilings and a number of walls that feature whitewashed Baltic pine cladding, plus an expanse of exposed brickwork that also houses a wood burning firebox.

Each of the homes four bedrooms feed from here, including a master with a brand-new period style ensuite and another with an enticing window seat, further highlighted by a bay window. A classic central bathroom with a deep clawfoot bath and a marble topped wash stand services the remainder of the home.

Completing the accommodation is a substantial kitchen/meals that was created using the homes original Baltic pine floorboards, ensuring the character of the residence carries throughout. Here you’ll enjoy an abundance of storage space including a walk-in pantry, a dishwasher and a freestanding Falcon cooker with double ovens, a separate grill, a 5-burner cooktop and a warming plate.

At the homes rear, a sizeable brick paved verandah provides a place to enjoy the outdoors whilst being protected from the elements; those seeking a more open place to entertain or relax will love the patio that leads to a Japanese garden, and the many fruit trees which grace the ample backyard. These include kumquat, apple, apricot, lemon and fig creating your own edible landscape.

Additions to further enhance the appeal include gas ducted heating, timber floorboards and quality carpets, attic style roof storage, 2 x water tanks and 2 x storage sheds.

The highly sought location in a no through road will also be a drawcard. You’ll be thrilled with the proximity to Ringwood East Railway Station, local buses, a comprehensive strip shopping centre plus a number of popular schools including Eastwood Primary, Tintern Grammar and Ringwood Secondary College to which you are zoned. You’re also a short drive to Eastlink and the recently renovated Eastland for all your shopping needs.

This magnificent home needs to be explored to be fully appreciated; it truly is one of a kind.
