An exquisitely renovated family haven in one of Lilydale’s most esteemed positions, ‘Ellerslie’ presents a flawless synthesis of its original circa 1926 character with the very finest contemporary design luxury.
Framing verdant vistas of its lush, perfectly landscaped gardens, the home presents five bedrooms, two bathrooms and study while evoking a sense of absolute tranquillity that flows effortlessly internally and out onto the poolside alfresco area, all in a privileged position that is pivotal to complete convenience delivered from Lilydale’s comprehensive amenities.
Grandly elevated and introduced via a traditional wrap around veranda entrance – including ionic original glass windows– the home culminates in a tastefully renovated semi open-plan living / dining, each warmed and made ambient by their fireplaces. Underpinned by a gourmet, stone-topped kitchen in which a 900mm Fisher & Paykel oven / cooktop is complemented by an integrated Miele dishwasher, breakfast island bench and a clever Butler’s Pantry.
The primary bedroom is a divine indulgence with built-in robes and bay window bench seat, a lavishly bright and airy room, with the further four bedrooms each providing their own point of difference by way of their features. The home office or 5th bedroom reveals a wonderfully moody room with grand timber panelling, built in cabinetry, fireplace and its own access point with leafy outlooks that form the backdrop of a joyful working environment. Serviced by two family bathrooms featuring frameless showers, sleek tiling, clawfoot bath and vanities topped with stone providing continuity from the kitchen areas.
The flow and character of the property extends outdoors to a sanctuary of bluestone-paving, an outdoor kitchen plus living/entertaining area by the pool that basks in dappled sunshine beneath an attractive mature oak tree. Further highlights of this immaculate, detail-oriented residence include bar area, generous dedicated laundry, gas ducted heating and evaporative cooling. Aside from its almost unrivalled proportions, the block 1689m2 (approx.) set across two titles also provides ample shedding and workshop area, triple car accommodation plus plenty of off-street parking options.
This leafy location is coveted for proximity to quality primary and secondary schooling options and Lilydale’s refined café precinct, Lilydale Railway Station and the glorious recreational facilities that differentiate Lilydale from the rest.
Demonstrating a crisp contemporary vibe throughout whilst tastefully acknowledging the bygone character of the era, this stunning family home will impress those who visit with its sophisticated dimensions, beautiful grounds and ultimate family lifestyle that it has to offer.
