"Burrabrae"
Spacious and light-filled, Burrabrae is a warmly welcoming mid-century hills home of nine rooms offering versatile family accommodation in a tightly held pocket of upper Montrose. Freshly painted and presented with flair, Burrabrae's abundance of accommodation starts with a huge lounge/home theatre room with vaulted ceiling and woodheater set in stone. Double doors reveal the sensational sun-drenched glasshouse: an open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with stacking doors leading to a large, roofed treehouse deck just made for parties with valley views and perfect northern orientation. The modern kitchen has stacks of storage and a full suite of stainless-steel Fisher & Paykel appliances. In a tranquil corner, a day bed overlooks the garden through its picture window. At the other end of the home is the indulgent, airconditioned master bedroom suite with walk-in robe, clothes vault and ensuite. The three other bedrooms all have built-in robes.
But Burrabrae offers so much more to suit your family's particular needs with:
• a large library/study room with custom-built timber wall unit;
• a discrete timber-lined games room or bar downstairs, which could also make a coveted bedroom for teenage or live-at-home offspring, with external access; and
• an expansive home office/studio with ethernet and airconditioning below the deck.
A choice of reverse-cycle airconditioners, panel heaters, ceiling fans and gas-ducted heating affords year-round comfort, with the money-saving benefit of a 4-kW solar power system.
There is storage galore with:
• a wine cellar;
• three-car garage;
• workshop, storage room plus under-house access; and
• sheds for wood and ride-on mower.
Outside is a gently sloping, fully useable and easily manageable block. The picture-perfect front garden was a labour of love inspired by Edna Walling with dry-stone walling, pond, rustic bridge and a botanical blend of exotics and natives all planted around a stately oak. Burrabrae is home to countless birds including the kookaburras, which gave it its name. Yet this peaceful refuge is just a stone's throw from the bus, schools and village of Montrose. Please note: Browns Road is a single laneway with limited street parking, so please respect the neighbours' access. If unsure where to park please seek directions from agent.
