A secluded sanctuary is revealed via a tree lined driveway meandering beyond a gated entrance securing approx. 4 ¼ acres of sun-filled gardens encasing a stunning residence with individual design capturing reclaimed mediums in its distinctive architectural detailing.
The prominent, black entrance door reveals a wide central hallway elongated by lengths of Oregon flooring and lined in rustic recycled red bricks oozing colour and texture, which invite you to discover the living zones and style way ahead of its time. Glimpses of the mezzanine upper level reveal steel balustrade and soaring ceilings from the lounging zone, warmed by an essential open fire with casement windows and French doors accessing the wrap around veranda connecting outdoor living zones. The master suite is ideally positioned separately through double doors, lined with storage and generous WIR while the ensuite offers double vanity, shower and bidet.
Warehouse archways lead to the black sassy kitchen and open plan living space. The kitchen features a central island bench offering storage and functionality coupled with spacious WI pantry and quality appliances. Walls of glass invite the private aspect while a further open fireplace adds to the organic charm.
Two further queen size bedrooms with BIR’s and main bathrooms, powder room and laundry are tucked away completing the lower level. Jarrah timber planks and steel railings create the unique stairway leading to a teenagers hideaway or guest retreat with highlight windows framing angled ceilings in the additional living area with the fourth bedroom and 3rd bathroom. A perfect floorplan.
While entertaining extends outside, crazy stone paving shapes garden beds and flow off verandas integrating the natural elements and earthy tones in timeless style utilising outside spaces perfectly. The garden includes mature plantings of Rhododendrons, rare Beech rainforest trees, chestnut, peach, olive, blood orange trees and abundant flat, green lawn areas home to some wild native fauna.
Excessive car and turning space adjacent to the separate double garage with automatic door offers even more storage with the original miners cottage still standing adding a touch of history and ideal as a studio or office.
The floors, imposing timber trusses, much of the skirting and even the feature staircase were salvaged from Her Majesty’s theatre when it underwent major renovations in 2000. These historical timbers bring a unique warmth and character to the home which is a rare find.
Not only is the property bounded by Singletons Reserve and William Ricketts Sanctuary, it is within walking distance to the Sky-High Lookout, Burke’s Lookout, restaurants, cafes and shops. The home is hidden from the outside world and although it is central to Mount Dandenong, it remains private.
The industrial styling and natural warmth this property exudes, will capture your eye and your heart.
