90 McAllister Road, Monbulk, Vic 3793

McAllister House is one of those rare 'tightly held' period properties, which rarely come on the market.
Dating back to 1894 when Captain McAllister acquired 100 acres as a result of land selection, the property had been in the same family for over 100 years, till the current owners purchased it from a third generation McAllister.

McAllister House was built in the 1920's by the second generation of McAllister's. Over the years the 100 acres have been condensed to a more practical and manageable 15,392 sqm. (just under 4 acres)
The grounds consist of a multitude of plants and trees one would expect from an 80 plus year old garden. This includes giant Indian Cedars, Californian Redwood, Liquidambars, Magnolia Grandiflora (Little Gem), Birches, Claret Ash, Japanese Maples, English Oaks, Rhododendrons, Pin Oak and the magnificent Tri-coloured Beech and Copper Beeches. On the high side of the property you'll find a 100 year old chestnut grove that gives you the impression of walking through ancient English woodlands.
The grounds and house are serviced by their own water supply coming from an underground spring, providing pure mountain water at no cost.

The house has been totally restored and consists of a formal entry with large leadlight front door leading to L shaped hallway. The 3 bedrooms are off the passage with 2 having their own study 'nooks' or sitting areas while the third has an open fireplace.
The fully tiled 'main bathroom' has a cast iron 'slipper bath,' pedestal basin, toilet and a magnificent lead light window overlooking the treetops.
The master bedroom also has a walk-in robe leading to an en-suite complete with lead light windows.

The kitchen/ meals area has a large island bench with lots of cupboard space and a hand
sink. All stainless steel appliances, which include a 900mm 6 burner cooker, electric oven and a Blanco dishwasher. There is also a double 'farmhouse style sink' which adds to the period flavour. A walk-in pantry with French door, bench-top and lots of cupboards and shelving add to the storage solution.
Off the kitchen is the open-plan family room with large Jetmaster fireplace and formal dining area.
There is also a laundry with ample cupboards and a separate 3rd toilet.
Two sets of double French doors open to the spacious external deck with a pitched gable roof.
