CITY LIVING IN THE HILLS FROM humble beginnings in the 1920s, this character home was hewn from the local mountain ash and the waxed patina on the polished hardwood floors and mill sawn marks through the weatherboards offer a glimpse of the original charm. Heritage wire fencing and elegant gates welcome guests at the entry off Falls road to either meander through the garden and vine-covered arbours, or enter the auto gates down the long, sweeping driveway. Steeplypitched gables protruding over weeping cherries and climbing roses framing the classic country residence welcome visitors. French doors open into a wide entry revealing views through the lounge/dining room window beyond the wide covered verandah to Silvan Reservoir and the Warburton ranges. A fireplace mantle houses the essential wood fire in what the agent says is the most beautiful room to curl up inside in winter and relax with sumptuous carpet underfoot. A split barn door leads to a bespoke farmhouse kitchen sympathetically renovated, adding creature comforts including a 900mm Ilve range, Miele dishwasher, with butler's sink, tapware and handles all tasteful heritage touches.
The mellow timber boards contrast with a French provincial decor of whites and earthy tones to the living and meals with a box bay window seat protruding over the front porch entry connecting with the garden. Two double bedrooms on the lower level and main bathroom are quietly placed down a hall, while a spacious home office or guest room is accessed off the main entry. Adjacent, the staircase leads to a retreat or third living zone, highlighted by gabled ceilings, sash windows and day bed. The master suite is accessed via a
passage with his and hers walk-in robes either side, and a spacious ensuite completes this wing. The fourth bedroom is perfect as a nursery, the agent says, and offers lots of storage. There's abundant light from a northeasterly aspect. Externally, wide verandahs front and rear create peaceful places to ponder and appreciate the colour of the seasons, the agent says, and landscaping with defined areas of stone paving frame outdoor zones
for year-round entertaining. A swim spa is tucked privately to the side, while a separately fenced rear paddock for playing with the kids or for the family pets to roam enhances the property, the agent says. Full access at the rear of the acreage (via Warwick Road) is also available. Ample car accommodation and workshop are easily accessed while storage beneath the home is aplenty. Among the inclusions are a water tank, solar panels, fire bunker, gas ducted heating, split systems, full fencing and a fridge. â—?
