310 Reynolds Road, Research, Vic 3095

Enjoying total seclusion on a breathtaking 10,199sqm (approx.) block of gently undulating hills and natural bush beauty, this bespoke architectural home represents a genuine escape from the hustle and bustle of city life moments from the heart of Eltham.

Designed by local architect Tony Gilligan for his family, this remarkable home has been crafted with the large family in mind. Spanning across an intelligently zoned single-level footprint with segregated living areas, private accommodation wings, two bathrooms and two outdoor areas where soothing scenery unfolds before you, this carefully-considered residence achieves an ideal balance of beautiful spaces to entertain, escape the daily grind or come together as a family. And with a standalone self-contained studio featuring two bedrooms with two ensuite (one with spa with views), excellent kitchen with stainless steel appliances, laundry facilities, radiant living area with polished timber floors and a towering cathedral ceiling, split-system heating/cooling and a charming front verandah orientated to capture magnificent views across the rolling landscape, you can unfurl the welcome mat and invite the extended family to move in or advertise it as a B&B and generate a passive income stream.

The genius behind the main home’s design sees private quarters allocated to parents and the kids. The successful grouping of the fireside lounge with the large main bedroom (with ensuite, walk-in robe, separate study and large home office/fifth bedroom option) presents parents with a private sanctuary on the home’s west wing, while a secluded three-bedroom accommodation wing with a luxuriously renovated bathroom and rumpus grants the kids with their own slice of privacy on the opposite side of the home.

A central fireside open-plan kitchen/meals area unites the household in the heart of the home; when the weather heats up, you can expect to see more of each around the in-ground swimming pool (with fully-tiled spa).

Climate-controlled with split-system cooling and ducted heating, this secluded lifestyle haven inside the Eltham East Primary School and Eltham Secondary College zone also features a large kitchen, formal dining, abundant storage and natural light, striking architectural detail, double carport and a large shed big enough to accommodate an extra four cars.

Conveniently located within a short drive of Research shops, Eltham Village, wineries of the Yarra Valley, Eltham train station and Eltham College.
