Enter through the double remote gates and be enveloped by rolling lawns and established drought-tolerant gardens that deliver a rare sense of seclusion and serenity. This much-loved family home on just over 6000 m2 allotment (approx.) within a tightly held Eltham enclave with only four other acre+ properties; captures the beauty of its natural surrounds, creating a home that feels deeply connected to its environment.
A meandering driveway introduces you to a home that matches its fabulous living, entertaining and accommodation options with relaxing alfresco spaces, back-dropped by easy-care year-round greenery. Nothing to be done; just walk in and start enjoying true Eltham tranquillity and contentment.
A spacious sunken lounge anchored by a gas log fire and a marble-finished wet bar, a meals area overlooked by a Miele- and Fisher & Paykel-equipped kitchen, and a sunken family living area under soaring ceilings provide refined and relaxed spaces for everyday living.
Complementing the living areas are three bedrooms. The main finished with a spa ensuite enjoying access to the immense under cover patio area, while a further two share their wing with a large retreat / fourth bedroom and a cleverly conceived computer alcove.
Separate from the house is a fitted workshop, a climate-controlled home office with room for multiple workstations, making it the ideal solution for a home-based business, and an expansive climate-controlled rumpus/games room. All under one roof line and accompanied by a triple vehicle carport, they combine to create a versatile area, perfect for a multitude of uses. A Tradeperson’s “dream”.
Outdoors, the lifestyle appeal continues. A choice of covered entertaining spaces, one featuring crazy paved Castlemaine slate under a substantial shade sail; the other beneath a low-maintenance Stratco roof, both providing a seamless connection to the indoor spaces and exceptional areas for outdoor enjoyment. Adding to the outdoor enticements is a stunningly backlit alfresco kitchen for night time enjoyment complete with a double sink fitted with hot and cold water taps; plus a premium Electrolux BBQ connected to mains gas and ample storage beneath.
Surrounded by a council reserve on one side and Melbourne Water easement on the other further enhances the sense of being ensconced within an expansive Eltham treescape. The long list of tantalising extras includes floating timber flooring, ducted heating, multiple split system units, a laundry with good storage, a zoned automated watering system, CCTV, wastewater treatment plant, a number of thoughtfully placed water tanks totalling to 45000 litres, remote external blinds, remote controlled outdoor lighting, laminated glass throughout, and a double carport, servicing the house.
Head to the rear farm gate and wander up to the Aqueduct trail where both cows and kangaroos share the neighbouring farmland. Research Village with its café, mini mart, butcher and bakery, along with the primary and pre-school zones, is only a few minutes drive away, and the heart of Eltham and every benefit that it brings, including the station, is readily accessible. Within the St Helena and Eltham College school zones and many more schooling options.
The owners have thought of everything to make living in the home a relaxing and secluded piece of Eltham paradise. After more than twenty years it is time for a new family to appreciate the size, the quietude, the privacy and multiple living options this much loved home has to offer.
