‘Heathermont’ was built in 1895 and this Federation home has stood strong for 125 years, across three centuries.
A securely gated entry leads you to the circular drive, past the 16 x 5 metre ‘studio’ with sundeck. Endless potential exists to further develop this space into FSC accommodation or rental. (STCA) The main home sits in a private position at the rear of the block.
Through the double front doors, a carpeted formal lounge or sitting room with open fire welcomes you. The home has three bedrooms, one with direct access to the verandah and a small walk in wardrobe. A spacious, sunny laundry/mudroom is accessed through the back door, giving ample storage space. The kitchen and living areas are open and warmed by a Heatcharm woodstove in winter.
All the appliances and heating in the main home have been upgraded to natural gas, with new Italian stainless gas cooktop (and rangehood) in the kitchen, new central heating unit, and Rinnai continuous hot water. The kitchen woodstove is in working condition and also has the capacity to heat hot water. The home has two septic tanks. The main bathroom is spacious, with a full- length claw foot bath, shower and toilet.
On the northern side of the home is the ‘cottage’, the original washroom that is now a cosy two-roomed accommodation used for family visitors. It has its own large bathroom, a free- standing slow combustion stove and split heating/cooling system.
A verandah runs the length of the eastern side of the home, offering sheltered entertaining all year round. The swimming pool area is beautifully laid out and offers a TV aerial connection and power on the pool deck.
The garden has dozens of fruit trees, abundant annual and perennial vegetables for the next owners to relish. Mature landscaped gardens surround the home and there is ample room for a pony, goats or other pets.
The Crown land adjacent to southern boundary offers added privacy and a buffer zone from the outside world. Other features include:
• 10,000 litre water storage capacity across 3 tanks
• New fencing to one acre
• Secure, weather-proof animal housing
• 2 carport areas
• Mature trees mean no need for air con
• No heritage overlays, 3 m. ceilings
• Timber flooring, some original
• Water infrastructure replaced in the past five years to all three buildings
• Walk to Wandin North Primary School
• 8 km from Lilydale station-commute to CBD in less than an hour
If you need a place where everything matches and nothing creaks or sags, then don’t bother here at Heathermont. But if you desire a heritage home on a stunning 2.7 acre (1.09 ha) block, a sanctuary - with potential to house an extended family, or even to start afresh in Wandin’s premier location, then call to book your personalised inspection.
