145 Swansea Road, Montrose VIC 3765

Ensconced down a meandering driveway that arrives at a regal circular forecourt, this stunning parcel on 8.31 acres of lush pasture is offered for the first time in 35 years. The homestead style residence showcases striking old-world charm, with majestic entry hall, high corniced ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, fireplaces and dado panelling throughout inviting serene ambience to this grand family home. Framed by a charming wrap around veranda, the home is sprawled across several wings and living areas with defined period character, yet with the ability to add contemporary touches for today’s modern family. The talking-point of the home is the stately formal lounge and dining at the front of the home divided by a resplendent dual-sided open fireplace. Traditional in style and radiating ornate class and character, this expansive space offers perfect flexibility for large or growing families to suit a variety of lifestyle needs. Opposite the hallway is another vast living area ideal as a family room or rumpus/games zone for the teens whilst the spacious timber kitchen with walk-in pantry is at the rear of the home and overlooks a large meals area. With the added allure of an open fireplace and direct access to the rear paved alfresco zone this space can be equally enjoyed no matter the season.
A lavish master bedroom with private access to the verandah features a walk-in robe and ensuite and is positioned in its own wing for added privacy. Two additional robed bedrooms sit off a hallway that flows from the kitchen/meals along with a study/home office, family bathroom and internal access to the double garage. The magnificent grounds need to be seen to be appreciated but are highlighted by a paved entertaining area framed by bluestone and lush established gardens before flowing into acreage beyond.
Only an inspection will reveal all the detail of this lavish abode, however some further highlights include detached 4 car garage/workshop. Double garage with rear door and internal access, fully fenced yard, ducted heating, powder room and Bosch security alarm system.
Offering a relaxed rural lifestyle with the joy of local conveniences, the home is positioned close to coveted Billanook College and MECS and a 2-minute drive from Montrose Village.
Enjoy a pub meal across the road at the York on Lilydale, wander down to Kuranga Nursery for your natives or a special gift or treat yourself with a massage and a mineral spa at Japanese Mountain Retreat Mineral Springs.
