Being offered for the first time since it was built in the mid 60s, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to buy such a unique and well loved home. Set on 790m2 (approx.) and craftsman built by the original owner with hardwood framing and hand-made timber linings, this three bedroom home is definitely worth a look.

The kitchen and meals area consists of a newly installed induction stove for efficient cooking, dishwasher, great cupboard and bench space and all whilst enjoying the peaceful view over the backyard. Enjoy entertaining family and friends with the separate dining and living rooms as well as under the pergola or on the sun deck outside the living area. Bay windows throughout add to the light and charm of the home. The three bedrooms all come with built-in robes and the central bathroom and laundry complete this home.

Storage is never an issue with convenient attic storage that features a retractable access ladder as well as two storage rooms located beside the garage, perfect for a workshop, storage or a cellar. Ducted central heating and the luxury of 100% wool carpets underfoot make for a cosy home. Heavy curtains with pelmets not only add a touch of elegance but also provide exceptional insulation during winter, keeping your energy costs in check.

Nestled in a peaceful setting, this home boasts a desirable north orientation that bathes the kitchen and living areas in natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the year. Thoughtful eave overhangs have been meticulously designed to maximize solar access while shading the height of the summer sun, ensuring your living spaces remain comfortable in all seasons. Surrounded by a lush backdrop of trees and adorned with an established native garden, you'll revel in the low water use landscape that embraces both environmental responsibility and beauty. The property is equipped with solar PV panels and rainwater tanks, further reducing your carbon footprint and utility bills.

Positioned beside a quiet playground and within easy walking distance to Highton Village and Reserve, the Barwon river with all its trails, a variety of great schools and easy access to the ring road leading to Melbourne and the coast, this truly is a remarkable location.
