'Tall Gums' is a peaceful and private estate as memorable as its name. Framed by trees on just over an acre, a sprawling 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom residence, significant entertaining and superb versatility define a property that embraces every stage of family life.
Automatic gates open to the landscaped bush block, where a remote double garage with rear drive-through access is matched by an abundance of vehicle parking. Extensively renovated to evolve with the needs of a growing family, the home’s floorplan is infused with character and practical features. An entrance with mudroom storage offers a warm welcome, leading to the focal point of the home, the kitchen and dining area canopied by vaulted ceilings and capturing magical treed vistas. An impressive four-oven AGA cooker steals the show, complemented by a farmhouse sink, dish drawer dishwasher and an expansive live-edge timber-topped breakfast bar. Beyond, an adjoining butler's pantry and laundry provide an exceptional amount of additional storage. An extraordinary backyard sanctuary unfolds from here, where a sweeping verandah overlooks a salt-chlorinated swimming pool with gas and electric heating. Framed by extensive decking, two gazebos, a firepit, basketball half-court and lush lawn, relaxation, recreation and big family gatherings are all seamlessly catered for.
Back inside, a large lounge room that also opens to the verandah, along with a study landing and versatile office, kids' retreat or exercise space, introduces the accommodation. Five bedrooms and bathrooms are spread across three levels, including four generous master-style suites with fitted-out walk-in wardrobes and en-suites with walk-in showers. One of the suites occupies its own private wing, with an expansive footprint and external access making it ideal for teenagers, in-laws or guests.
An extensive list of quality extras, detailed below, is complemented by an excellent location with easy access to bus services, the Yarra River, scenic trails, reserves, Yarra Street's vibrant shopping and dining strip, quality public and private schools, community and recreational facilities, EastLink and shopping destinations including Goldfields, The Pines and Eastland.
