7 Edinburgh Road, Lilydale, Vic 3140

Hidden away in its own private idaho, this one-owner, owner-built family retreat beautifully showcases classic Federation style, blending timeless charm with luxurious modern comfort. With five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and four spacious living zones, this home caters to large families and multigenerational living, all set on a secluded 1.5-acre estate with not a neighbour in sight. Arriving via a rose-lined driveway, you'll be greeted by vibrant blooms and their heady scent—a warm, inviting welcome that sets the tone for this remarkable residence.

Upon entry, gleaming hardwood floors and a welcoming foyer lead you into a world of refined spaces. Designed in authentic Federation style with a signature high-pitched roof, intricate fretwork, ceiling roses, and vintage-inspired finishes, every detail radiates charm—from the sash windows and ornate door handles to the light switches that complete the home’s character. 

A formal dining room and a lounge with an open fire set an elegant scene, with flexibility to create spaces that suit your lifestyle needs. For more relaxed occasions, the expansive open-plan living and meals area is framed by floor-skimming sash windows, bringing in verdant garden views. French doors swing open to a charming verandah where you can easily view the kids splashing about in the pool, while at the rear, a lavish deck draped in festoon lights offers the perfect space for outdoor entertaining.  At the heart, the traditional-style kitchen boasts a grand central island, stainless-steel 800mm cooker, display cabinetry, dishwasher, and a luxe walk-in pantry, balancing superb style and functionality. 

Upstairs, the heads of the house will rejoice in the serene master domain that offers a sanctuary of comfort, complete with an ensuite, walk-in robe, and an adjoining parent’s retreat.  A second master bedroom on the ground floor with its own ensuite, robes, window seat and private entrance provides flexible living options for guests, adult children or multigeneration families. Three sumptuous king-sized bedrooms with floor-to-ceiling built-ins and floor skimming panes and an elegant family bathroom with a vintage clawfoot bath add to the home’s charm and provide restful sanctuaries for every family member.

Outdoors, gently terraced grounds feature expanses of lawn that stretch out, framed by established screening plants for complete privacy. Fruit trees including lemon, lime, plum and olive, and a veggie patch will delight green thumbs and those into self-sufficiency, whilst dual firepit zones and a sparkling salt-chlorinated, solar-heated pool make this the perfect escape for all ages. Birdsong from local magpies, kookaburras, and mystical owls fills the air, creating a natural soundtrack for serene days and evenings. 

A circular driveway and forecourt, adorned with flourishing roses and manicured hedges, offer ample parking for boats, caravans, or trailers, plus a double garage with workshop.

Surrounded by parks, trails, and quality schools such as Edinburgh and Billanook Colleges, and moments to Lilydale, Lillydale Lake and Chirnside Park, this breathtaking home harmonises luxury and lifestyle in one remarkable family sanctuary.
