Panoramic views and picturesque gardens
Valley.
A true nature lover's paradise with the Dandenong Ranges National Park a five-minute walk away that leads onto the renowned Thousand Steps. The birdlife is phenomenal, with
Kookaburra laughter and Currawong haunting calls ringing out, while parrots visit frequently but keep a watchful eye for Wedge-tailed Eagles riding the mountain updrafts.
This home's split-level design with floor to ceiling windows will allow you to watch the weather roll in and the scenic local hillside evolve through the seasons. The lounge boasts vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and warm wood fire to keep cosy in cooler months. The floorplan then flows into the timber kitchen with wall oven, gas cooktop, peninsula seating, and adjoining dining area leading out to the deck where soaking up the spectacular outlooks will become your family's favourite pastime.
Landscaping has been carefully considered for the property. Terracing provides usable land that is rare for the area, with the well-established native garden offering drought resistance and wonderful flower displays. The expansive lawn area has automated irrigation and is ready for party or playtime.
A huge area underneath allows for a range of uses such as a workshop, excellent wine cellaring and storage. Two 5,000L tanks harvest rainwater from the roof to supply the building's grey water and potential irrigation for vegetable patches.
An extensive renovation for a double storey, 3-bedroom dwelling with several multi-use rooms has been designed by the award-winning Kirsten Johnston Architecture. This is based on the current building footprint and these designs (STCA) can be negotiated as part of the purchase. Don't miss this opportunity to create your true dream home.
