This unique and captivating residence has been renovated with meticulous care, epitomising classic yet contemporary luxury without compromising its original charm.

An infinitely inviting, timeless treasure on an impressively dimensioned, lush and leafy 3315m2 allotment (approx.), the front door in the striking façade opens to reveal an interior where every element is exactly right.

A lounge finished with french-patterned travertine floors complements an expansive open-plan living and dining zone. Under a 4.5-metre-high raked ceiling lined with reclaimed boards and enhanced by lime-washed walls, the focal point of this area is a two-way woodfire heater in a stacked-stone fireplace.

Integrating a stone finished kitchen appointed with a pyrolytic oven, a convection microwave and an induction cook top and a walk-in pantry, a box seat with a large “pop” out window offers a relaxing garden outlook, while overheight glass doors ensure a seamless transition to the paved alfresco area where you entertain and BBQ by the pond.

The carefully considered layout introduces a third living area featuring an open fireplace, an open study, and four bedrooms. Three share a deluxe bathroom with dual vanities and a back-to-the-wall bath, while the main includes a fitted walk-in robe and a dual basin en-suite with heated flooring and walk-in shower.

Tucked under the house are spaces that will impress with their versatility…. Currently configured as a rumpus room, a workshop, and a lock-up storeroom, they could be reimagined as garaging for multiple cars, a wine cellar, a multi-workstation home office, or a theatre room - wherever your imagination takes you.

A carport with built-in storage, a versatile studio and a former stable, now providing additional storage, add further flexibility. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with an expansive 35-metre balcony capturing views towards the Dandenongs, complemented by a garden-view patio, paved alfresco area and a full-length private terrace.

Further extras include hydronic heating (26kW heat pump), ducted cooling, a 48-panel solar array (15kW inverters), 3-phase power, 10,000L water tank, utility room with laundry facilities, CCTV, video entry, orchard and established gardens, a productive food forest containing over 40 varieties of fruits and nuts, expansive ponds and room for chickens complete the lifestyle.

Just a few short minutes to the heart of Eltham and every benefit that brings it perfectly balances lifestyle and location with architecture and craftsmanship!
