10 Lockwood Road, Belgrave Heights VIC 3160

Unmistakably admired as a prominent landmark in the hills, this classic character residence is framed by two imposing date palms almost steeping the home in history with their grandeur.

The streetscape hedge opens up for dual driveway access and reveals landscape gardens with a century old weeping Elm and mature European plantings with garden paths meandering to an amphitheatre encased by sandstone walls, a touch of design elegance. The Lich gate welcomes guests opening through to the perfectly manicured box hedge-lined path guiding you to the doors of this 1920s treasure.

Deep verandas encase the original weatherboard home abundant in period style and architectural splendour of the era. Timber sash bay windows, picture rails, and high ceilings greet you in the sitting room with a corner fireplace and decorative mantle. The adjacent master suite has been sympathetically updated to include a WIR and ensuite, decorated in classic tones with peaceful garden views enriched with tasteful window furnishings. Ideally separated from the further 4 bedrooms via thoughtful extensions over the years, the floor plan connects easily with the grand living room. Pressed metal and timber lined ceilings soaring in barn style proportions enhanced by stunning cabinetry with a French Provincial flavour. Just a hint of the detail in this rambling floor plan.

The central country kitchen is focused around the dining table with a range stove, butlers sink, essential dishwasher and walls of light filled bench space The walk in pantry is in farmhouse fashion with mesh doors and open shelving for the home cook to fill! Character exudes with panelled doors, leadlight and abundant architectural treats, with the two bathrooms updated in heritage tiles and reproduction timber vanity flowing on with the traditional decor. Living options are endless with 4 zones to keep the largest family entertained including a cinema room in the transformed barn with 2 loft bedrooms above or ideal for the extended family where separate areas are desired.

The flat acre of grounds offers endless shedding including 3 Phase power plus spacious studio, all easily accessed through electric gates and neatly tucked away to keep the boys and the toys very happy. 2 x carports to house 4 cars in the rear yard, and more room for the boat, trailer and caravan and of course plenty of room for the children to roam and play

Rarely an opportunity to secure such a Character filled home oozing with heart and soul located on a sealed, but not main road in the prestigious Belgrave Heights locale in walking distance to shops, local schools and kinder gardens is offered to the market. Brighton is simply very special and a credit to those who have been her caretakers over the years. You may also be one of the lucky few to appreciate her charm
