$1,750,000
Located on the golden mile before you commence your ascent towards the iconic Black Spur, this character home was built when the bullock carts still wound their way down the hill and at a similar time as Maroondah Dam was being constructed.
Now, with a lovingly tended garden around it, full of mature trees, ponds, and a subdivision of approx. 5377m2 conditionally approved, the opportunity has arrived for the next custodian to take the home forward to its next century.
And what a footprint to work with...
A duel access driveway allows for easy access and plenty of off street parking, with a traditional wooden garage, now used as a garden shed.
A lovely place to sit and have a coffee, the veranda welcomes you into this charming period home, which has many period features still intact.
Two bedrooms to the right are served by the centrally located bathroom, while to the left, the lounge has a feature fireplace with wood heater insert, to keep the winter chill at bay.
The kitchen has the original feature chimney breast, where a wood heater adds to the ambience. The central meeting point of this home, which has grown and adapted to family life over the years. This has led to a flexible floor plan that can easily accommodate five bedrooms if required, or shrink back to less, adding additional living or office space as required.
A lovely deck allows plenty of space to enjoy the vistas, with long weekend lunches on the agenda.
Downstairs, the flexibility continues, with another bedroom, ideally suited to be utilised as the Master with ensuite. A downstairs external laundry adds to the country ambiance.
Outside, the grounds allow for horses, sheep, chickens- a lovely lifestyle for a young family.
The land continues to Mc Gregor East Road, where the new entrance for the subdivision has been slated. Here the opportunity exists to build a new family home (STCA), and sell the original homestead, or retain the property and sell the land. The suggested subdivision allows for approx. 6761 m2 of land to remain with the home, while the remaining 5377m2 has the potential to be sold.
Of course, the beauty of the Yarra Valley through the seasons can be enjoyed or indulged in with local wineries close by.
