CHARACTER, CHARM IN TOP SPOT IT’S not often you find such a fine example of a hills home still featuring many original character features, such as an ornate ceiling rose in the dining room with original windows and fireplaces converted to gas. Adding to the charm of a bygone era are a wood heater, picture and plate rails and embossed wallpaper. The house over time has been extended to four bedrooms, living zones and a beautiful sunroom, a great spot to read a book or two on a winters’ day. The large family room at the rear is situated to take in views across the stunning backyard, where the odd echidna, lyrebird or tame king parrots can be seen visiting. Why not meander through the 3000m2 approx of stunning gardens consisting of sculptured English box, camellias daffodils, blue bells and mature lemonade trees? A host of other fruit trees plus beautiful copper beech and giant liquid amber really make
this a special garden. Cross the stone bridge at the rear of the property and listen to the sound of frogs in your very own frog pond. A separate character cottage with its own access is ideal as a teenage retreat, in-laws, guest accommodation or a fantastic home office. All this and more situated on one of the best streets in the Dandenong Ranges. It’s only a short stroll to the bus stop, a 10-minute drive to Upper Ferntree Gully train station and there are fantastic choices of local schools just minutes away. Other additions complete this superb property, a fully fenced near flat yard, sealed bluestone lined driveway, carport, ducted heating, Miele dishwasher and a lifestyle many just dream about.
