Dream home in its day, in a dream setting, this contemporary classic presents an exceptional opportunity to reimagine and restoreit to its former glory. Positioned within the tightly held Edinburgh Road enclave on a 2,704m2 (approx.) battleaxe block, this substantial four bedroom residence is rich in character, scale and future promise.
Split level, double storey architecture showcases soaring timber-lined cathedral ceilings and the warmth of striking clinker brick, revealed to stunning effect in the impressive living room where a focal fireplace sets the tone. The existing layout is highly functional yet offers exciting scope to reconfigure to suit modern family living, with potential for a downstairs ensuite master bedroom and parents’ retreat. A formal dining room/home office, and family living zone flank a large original kitchen.
Originally envisaged as a games room and bar, the second living area downstairs, with adjacent guest bedroom, has potential for semi-independent living for an adult child or grandparent; it also lends itself to a home business, enhanced by a separate external entrance.
Original throughout and ready for renovation, this is a home of undeniable character and soul. Garden views are a constant highlight, with two downstairs living areas opening to the expansive grounds with beautiful established trees, while the upstairs master suite with ensuite and walk-in robe enjoys access to a private deck with lush outlook. Two further upstairs bedrooms are serviced by a generous family bathroom.
Completing the offering is a large double garage with a separate workshop, an ideal foundation for the ultimate mancave or creative space. Moments from elite private schools including Edinburgh College and Billanook College, and close to Mooroolbark and Lilydale shopping precincts and train stations, Lilydale Lake, the Dandenong Ranges and the renowned wineries of the Yarra Valley, this is a rare and exciting opportunity to secure a landmark home in a premium setting and bring a grand vision to life.
