Seldom does Surrey Hills offer up an opportunity of such magnitude as this vast property at an auspicious address that with an expansive five bedroom home, swimming pool, tennis court and massive 1780 sqm approx. dimensions represents an unrivalled opening with once in a generation potential. Set well back beyond sweeping high-fenced frontage, this 1920s solid brick residence offers an estate-like presence on one of the area’s most coveted streets moments to excellent amenities.

A sandstone-paved side driveway leads to a triple garage and workshop, while a meticulously landscaped front garden provides an elegant introduction to the home’s timeless character and family comfort. Defined by decorative ceilings and superb proportions, formal and family zones flow seamlessly from a stylish lounge room with a gas-log fireplace to a dining room overlooking lush greenery before extending to a large living room featuring a wet bar and a Coonara wood heater.

A well-appointed granite-bench kitchen merges with a family meals area including a sub-floor wine cellar, while a north-side wing offers five generously-sized bedrooms complemented by two impressive bathrooms and a huge laundry. There’s also central heating, evaporative cooling and ducted vacuum, while just outside is a solar-heated pool/spa, entertainment terrace with Balinese-style cabana, sunny mature garden and a N/S flood-lit tennis court.

Whether through an architectural revival and expansion, a new luxury build or a multi-residence redevelopment (STCA), the sheer scale of this magnificent landholding with no significant trees to inhibit the view or future plans invites a visionary approach catering to those seeking an exceptional lifestyle surrounded by esteemed schools, Surrey Hills Village and train station, Wattle and Surrey Parks, Deakin University, Box Hill Central and Westfield Doncaster shopping.
