A haven of peace, beauty and utter tranquillity, you can separate yourself from the reality of the madding crowd and retreat to the quiet life in this substantial 70’s mudbrick masterpiece.
A generous 4090m2 allotment (approx.) envelopes the house and introduces a mix of easy-care natives that deliver the perfect backdrop to everyday living or relaxed large-or-small-scale entertaining on the choice of brick paved alfresco spaces and the heated pool set in crazy paved surrounds.
Offering dimensions that need to be seen to be appreciated, the main living area set under a double-height ceiling introduces a stunning slate tiled floor, repurposed timbers, an enormous open fireplace of sand blasted bricks and a wall of floor-to-ceiling glass that invites an abundance of natural light and rewards with a garden outlook that changes with the seasons and is home to visiting wildlife.
It is complemented on the ground floor by a 5th bedroom/sitting room, opening to a study, and a multi-purpose room that would work just as well as a rumpus or theatre room as it would a spacious home office. Finished with a conversation starter floor of reclaimed reds, the family-meals is overlooked by a solid timber kitchen fitted with Miele appliances, including a cooktop, an oven and a combi-steamer.
The first floor introduces three bedrooms sharing the family bathroom and a retreat-size main bedroom. Finished with a striking slate floor and including an ensuite updated with floor-to-ceiling tiles and a new walk-in shower, it extends through glass doors out to the garden.
Held by the current owners since 1984, recent upgrades include new lighting throughout, Reverse cycle heating/cooling to 3 bedrooms, resealing to the slate floors and stripped, sealed brick floors, fresh paint and carpet in the multi-purpose room and upgrades to the pool equipment.
A short walk to the open spaces along the Yarra, including Griffith Park, and only a few minutes from the heart of Eltham, it presents a rare opportunity you just don’t want to miss!
