9 Old Fernshaw Road, Healesville, Vic 3777

Originally part of the Allembie Guest House estate, this classic 1980s home sits on a large block of 1516m2 (approx). Set well back off the quiet road, the home is centrally positioned on the block, allowing for excellent access to either side of the home; room to store caravans, boats, trailers with ease, as well as enjoy the space the land has to offer. A long concrete driveway extends to the rear where an oversized 2 bay steel garage is located. Space for storage and workshop area, it has electric roller doors.

The front door: Easily accessed from the west facing veranda, opens to a spacious entry with original slate floor, and large double cupboards, handy to keep the entrance free from everyday clutter. From here, the kitchen is ahead, while to the right is the large sunken loungeroom, with feature brick wall and fireplace. This area flows around and up to the spacious formal dining area, which is also adjacent to the kitchen.

The kitchen is generous, offering plenty of cupboard and bench space, with a wall oven and ceramic cooktop. An informal dining space is also located here and has sliding doors to access the outdoor covered alfresco space, the perfect indoor/outdoor transition. The laundry also has external access to the undercover alfresco area. A bonus found here is the fully lined external office/bedroom, perfect for a teenager wanting their own space, an extra living room or a home-based business/ work from home situation.

All three bedrooms are generous, and again benefit from large windows with lovely aspects into the garden. Each have good storage, with the master bedroom having a walk-in robe and fresh ensuite. A family bathroom is pristine and is served by a separate toilet.

Ducted heating (2 years old) and evaporative cooling make for all year comfort. Built in the early 1980s, a new Colourbond roof recently installed makes the exterior feel quite contemporary, and the whole home benefits from the robustness and generosity of space associated with this era of building.

A beautifully maintained home, boundary fencing is Colourbond, with a low maintenance garden. A pretty gazebo sits in the garden, while a garden shed with power and concrete floor adds more storage to the generous double garage. Excellent fencing ensures both animals and small children can be easily contained.

Located a short and easy walk to the delights of Healesville Main Street, as well as schools, medical facilities and parks; this home is testament to an era of quality construction, in addition to the great Australian dream of a backyard with room to kick the footy, play a game of cricket or grow your own food!

This fabulous family home and its spacious surrounds set so close to the heart of Healesville are sure to be a family pleaser today and into the future.
