EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST CLOSING TUESDAY 18TH OF MARCH (UNLESS SOLD PRIOR) 

Nestled amidst delightful, manicured gardens within a natural setting, this captivating, modern farmhouse provides a sanctuary on over one acre of tranquil land.  Character and warmth oozes from this historical home, sympathetically modernised whilst retaining its original charm.  Featuring a mid-century addition inspired by acclaimed artisan Alistair Knox, it promises exceptional lifestyle appeal with a selection of marvellous living zones and expansive outdoor spaces. Gather family and friends around the charming Hawthorn brick open fire in the lounge room, enhanced by timber lined walls, a high-pitched cathedral ceiling with exposed oregon beams, which flows onto the rear balcony with sweeping views over the Yarra Ranges.

A second open fire awaits as you make your way through to the sophisticated open plan kitchen and dining space, featuring an island breakfast bar with a timber breakfast bench, quality European appliances and seamless access to a covered elevated deck perfect for outdoor entertaining all year round.

You will be thrilled with the multi-generational offering and versatility of this floorplan.  Upstairs features the generous master bedroom with it's own fireplace, a walk-through robe and a modern ensuite. Two additional robed bedrooms share a central main bathroom. Downstairs has been designed to offer the possibility of a separate self-contained area.  It reveals a huge rumpus/billiard room and built in study nook embraced by a cosy woodfire, with two additional robed bedrooms served by a stylish, modernised bathroom and separate toilet.

Family fun extends outdoors to a sprawling child-friendly backyard, highlighted by a glistening pool with a sundeck, a rustic firepit and alfresco dining space that has that Tuscan feel.   Finishing touches include an alarm, video intercom, ducted heating, evaporative cooling, polished hardwood floors, ample storage from under-house workshop/storage room, a custom chicken coop with garden shed, irrigated veggie gardens and plenty of off-street parking. 

Although a world away in your private sanctuary once you close that front door, you enjoy a prime location, across from Montsalvat, close to Eltham Primary and High Schools, and a few minutes from Eltham’s Shopping Village and Train Station, bus services, an endless variety of nearby parks, walking trails and the scenic Yarra River. Enjoy close proximity to major shopping hubs of Westfield Doncaster and Greensborough Plaza.
