Join in the revival of nostalgia for those late 1980s, early 1990s homes- with good reason - These homes are built to last, with excellent construction, generous spaces, and quality materials- this home is an excellent example of this era, offering all these components and the bonus of a large, flexible floorplan.
With fabulous bones to play with, the quality of the build is apparent on arrival. The circular driveway leads you to the back door, where access is easy through the laundry, which could easily incorporate a fancy mudroom - loads of space to distribute all the stuff of life before entering the home. Once inside, the towering, vaulted ceiling and feature fireplace momentarily distract from the immersive views on offer beyond.
The kitchen, dining and living space form the core of this wonderful country home; a space that will bring the family together within a home that at the same time ensures all occupants have the space for quieter moments. Throughout the home, an extensive hydronic heating system also keeps the chill at bay, while a split system is also located in the family area. Covered verandahs offer additional climate control, keeping harsh summer sun at bay while also keeping Jack Frost from windowpanes in the depth of winter.
The expansive kitchen has stood the test of time, offering a multitude of storage options that include inward and outward facing under bench cupboards, separate pantry, bench space to accommodate a plethora of simultaneous tasks and enough free space to accommodate additional help when needed, Even the fussiest of chefs will find a lot to love about this fantastic space and for those who would want to update; any renovation here would be simple and straight forward
Adjacent, is the sitting room, a perfect playroom or TV space with room for couches and has excellent storage for games, art supplies etc. A flexible space, it could easily be a bedroom if required.
The large master bedroom enjoys mountain views and has a generous ensuite and walk through robe. Positioned at the western end of the home, the master bedroom is privately placed at the opposite end from the other bedrooms
Sitting behind the living zones large fireplace is the remaining bedroom accommodation. Another three bedrooms, again all generous in size with built in wardrobe space. Served by a huge family bathroom, there is plenty of space to reconfigure if required. The final piece of the puzzle is an additional study with its own direct access to the balcony. A serene space to work from, a teenager's study or perhaps a place of meditation.
Along the full-length verandah, where a cup of tea each morning could and should be enjoyed, sits a large studio space, again, easily adapted to be another living space/teenage hangout room, office, or remain as a dedicated artists space as it is now. This also has access from the driveway.
An oversized double garage with extra storage space, also has a shower and toilet, perfect if you are using the studio or out in the garden. Clear access under the home allows easy access if required, and good additional storage.
Dual/circular driveways provide easy access, and the 5986m² block offers ample space to build a big shed if required. A fenced orchard sits at the front of the home, providing lots of home-grown delicious fruit. Water tanks add to infrastructure as does the generator, and extensive sprinkler system on the roof.
Chum Creek Primary School is close by, and the township of Healesville is a short drive of 4 or 5 minutes on made roads. Local markets, great cafes, schools, and sporting groups abound, as well as all the delights the greater Yarra Valley lifestyle offers.
This is a home for all seasons of life. Well built, well maintained and well-loved it is time for the next generation to enjoy, and make their own memories.
