10 Ryrie Street, Healesville, Vic 3777

With character overlaid with more character, this home exudes the charm of bygone days. The quirkiness of design and a sweet cottage facade hides the large family home that sits behind.

Imagine the stories your children or grandchildren will tell, of growing up in a home where your own Harry Potter cupboard exists under the stairs.  Or the  excitement of a whole upstairs made for hide and seek.  Or a lounge room whose cedar lined wall could tell stories of generations past.  This type of home  stays within families for years as it casts its spell over its inhabitants...

A central hallway leads into the home, where the 10ft ceilings add a sense of space.  Four bedrooms are on offer; master on the ground floor with a sweet sunroom attached.  In the past, the large timber lined room to the right with feature fireplace has been used as a fifth bedroom, however its original function of second living space serves well.

A lovely craftsman-built staircase winds itself up into the second storey, complete with storage underneath.  It has been given space to be a feature and also allows for a quiet study spot if needed.  Double french doors add a light and bright touch. Adjacent, is the  bathroom and toilet whose fixtures are in keeping with the home, as is the laundry located at the rear door.

The family kitchen, dining and lounge room are again sympathetic with the home's history, with beautiful windows a feature, and again double doors opening out into the garden.  A wood heater keeps the space cosy, while a cellar is found under the floor.

The many special features of this home have been sourced over many years, all adding to the ambience that lives hand in hand with the homes story line of yesteryear.

Outside, a series of sheds and stables date back to when transport was a horse and cart.  Side access up the lane, another hangover from yesteryear allows great access into the backyard to store caravans, trailers etc and room to create a sizeable shed for work, play and storage if required.  

Location wise, it doesn't get much better with Four Pillars Gin and the Entertainment precinct of Healesville to your left, and Healesville Main street to your right- all an easy amble, while the choice of two primary schools, three childcares are close by, as is public transport.

If your home is indeed your castle, then we encourage you to embrace a home that has sustained many families in the past and create your own memories in the future.
