Imagine having the best of both worlds: chic, city styling in a lush, green setting; the intimacy and charm of a country cottage combined with striking modern architecture; a feeling of being a world away but only a short walk from good coffee and a drink at the pub – this exceptional property delivers all of that and more.
Located in the heart of leafy Mount Macedon, less than an hour from Melbourne CBD, this 4-bedroom, 3 bathroom home thoughtfully combines old and new resulting in a stunning home, inside and out.
As you would expect from a home of this calibre, there are multiple living zones and the indoors and outdoors work seamlessly together. The main open-plan living and dining area is filled with light and space and offers garden views in all directions. This space also has a wood-burning fireplace and direct access through large, sliding glass doors onto the elevated rear deck which has the feeling of being in a very elegant tree-house. The modern, well-appointed kitchen is also on this level and has everything you could want: a free-standing 900cm oven, stainless steel bench tops, dishwasher, butler’s pantry and a generous island bench topped with Caesar stone for entertaining.
Stairs lead to a large living space downstairs with polished concrete floors perfect for multiple purposes including, library, wine, rumpus room or an additional area for entertaining. Again, this space opens onto an amazing outdoor entertaining area deck, complete with wood fired pizza oven, timber hot tub and outdoor shower. This level also hosts a well-proportioned bathroom and laundry.
The 4 bedrooms are all spacious; the master bedroom has a walk-in robe and ensuite featuring a free-standing bath in front of a large window overlooking the garden. The front guest bedroom also has a separate entrance which makes it perfect as a home office or space to run a business from home.
Careful attention has also been given to other areas of the home, such as the ducted vacuum system, reverse cycle heating and cooling, gas heating, quality carpets and timber and polished concrete flooring.
Outside, in beautifully landscaped gardens, there is a large established, north-facing edible garden that includes espalier fruit trees, a berry patch, citrus trees, assorted vegetables, and herbs. As you wander the meandering paths through the garden you will also discover rhododendrons, established oaks, Japanese maples, dogwood and birch trees. There is also a carport, storage shed and of course, a chicken coop if your dream is to get back to basics in an idyllic environment.
This private oasis is still within walking distance of the Mount Macedon pub, Trading Post café, and is within the Mount Macedon primary school zone. It is also an easy 10-minute drive to the Calder Freeway which will have you at the airport within 30 minutes and Melbourne CBD in under an hour.
