9-11 Richardson Road, Croydon North, Vic 3136

Revelling in a picture-perfect pinnacle position atop Birts Hill between the city and the mountains, an awe-inspiring 180-degree panorama harmonises with the suave mid-century sophistication of this expertly renovated residence.

Architecturally designed in 1970 to maximise the uninterrupted views of the Dandenong Ranges, sweeping around to the Macedon and Kinglake Ranges, this abode sits on approximately half an acre of beautifully landscaped gardens showcasing master-crafted cantilevered floating concrete stairs.

A breathtaking entry terrace and enormous entertainer's alfresco deck bask in the vista, spilling inside to the desirable open-plan dining and family room.  With coffered ceilings above, this space extends into the gourmet kitchen featuring a broad stone island, Smeg black-enamel oven and a Miele dishwasher. Below, there's a serene retreat accompanied by a covered outdoor zone, overlooking the vivid green of a densely lush lawn ready for a fun-filled game of cricket or football.

The 4 bedrooms and study/5th bedroom are serviced by 3 bathrooms including a stylish stone ensuite. Thoughtfully enhanced with a versatile gym/storage/cellar, dark Hurford Roasted solid hardwood floorboards, ducted heating/air-conditioning, a split system air-conditioner, water tank, garden irrigation, double auto garage and off-street parking.

Just around the corner from Luther College and Good Shepherd Primary School, a pleasant walk to Yarra Valley Grammar and McAdam Square's cafes and fresh food providores, and minutes to Croydon Central, the train station and Eastlink.
