Centrally situated and boasting beautiful Silvan Dam views, this elegant acreage is a testament to timeless architecture. Originally constructed in the 1930s and extended in the 1970s, it is clear why the current owners stayed for many years.
With a charming white picket fence and sweeping tree-lined allée, the landscape of this property befits this captivating home. Inspired by the design principles of Edna Walling, the grounds unfold into a series of established outdoor rooms, while a fruit orchard featuring oranges, lemons, avocados, Morello cherries, cumquats and lime varieties enhances the lifestyle appeal. The outlook across Silvan Dam evokes the works of Arthur Streeton.
Entry through the arched leadlight door and into the barrel-ceiling foyer instantly draws your eye to the balcony with spectacular, east-facing views. The lounge with open wood fire, classic timber kitchen with large adjoining laundry, and reading room with birds’ eye views of the gorgeous garden, are awash with original features and potential for enrichment.
With abundant character and quality, this is an unparalleled opportunity to reinvigorate a grand residence for a new generation.
