You'll fall head over heels in love with Brownmoor, a beautifully renovated 5 bedroom 2 bathroom period home built in 1888. This exquisite family residence has a fascinating history and is set in a coveted address, walking distance to Mont Albert station, village, Surrey Hills station, Union Rd shops, Surrey Hills Primary and Our Holy Redeemer School. The site was developed by Edwin Dyer, a hotel proprietor and horse owner, whose horse Sibyl won the Australia Cup in 1877. H W Sinclair built the solid brick home, and in 1927 it became a boarding house, music room and teacher's rooms for Ormiston Girls School. In 1942 it was bought by Mr. Thomas Shaw Fitchett, a printer, publisher and son of Reverend Fitchett, Founding Principal of Methodist Ladies College. The present owners have meticulously updated, extended and cared for the home since 1977. Now it's your turn to enjoy the space, character and sensational indoor/outdoor lifestyle. A picket fence, verandah with lacework and verdant landscaped garden will capture your heart from the street. Walk through the grand entrance hallway with decorative archway and discover an enchanting blend of original detail and modern comfort, from the dramatic 3.6m high ceilings, ceiling rosettes and French doors, to the contemporary carpets and secluded garden outlooks. Four over-sized bedrooms (master with BIRs, 3 with built-in cupboards) are quietly zoned off the hallway. Servicing these are 2 bathrooms. A 5th bedroom (or formal dining room) gives you further options. Two large living areas and a well-appointed Tasmanian Oak kitchen will make family life easy. Entertain guests beside the open fireplace (with marble detail and feature mantelpiece) in the magnificent big formal lounge room, or relax in the spacious family/meals room highlighted by a 1/2 bay window, poolside views, open fireplace and feature mantel. A lovely private landscaped garden, paved entertaining areas and large heated pool and spa are perfect for any occasion. Additional highlights: built-in bar, double carport with storage, ducted heating, gas wall furnace, alarm, 5,000-litres water storage (with pump), auto watering system, garden shed/workshop and gated driveway with ample parking. Close to Box Hill Central, trams, buses, freeway, Surrey Park, Kingswood College, Strathcona Baptist Girls Grammar School, Fintona Girls' School, Siena College and Box Hill Tafe. A dream!
