177 Mount Pleasant Road, Eltham VIC 3095

History comes to life in this inspired Alistair Knox designed home, set in gardens created by acclaimed landscaper Robert Boyle. Enjoying peace and privacy on a 3.205
acre allotment (approx), a carefully considered blend of reclaimed materials including entry doors from Kryal Castle, internal doors rescued from the State Bank building, massive Ironbark bridge beams from Echuca and Oregon wall paneling and stair risers from a Port Melbourne warehouse combine to add character and charm to a unique family home just a few minutes from the centre of Eltham.

With its Electrolux appliances including double oven and streamlined storage solutions created from Red Gum and American Oak, the stunning eat in kitchen is a model of efficiency and creates the vibrant hub of the home.

Living dining complete with two open fires and stretching the full width of the house to open to verandahs at each end, is complemented upstairs by a massive, light filled retreat. With open fire and windows to four sides, it's the perfect for space for lounging with a good book or creative thinking. Of the three bedrooms, the main enjoys a spa ensuite, with a family bathroom serving the remaining two.

The oversize garage, lined with timbers, floored with bricks and with beams of Oregon will house two cars with ease leaving an abundance of space to use as a studio/workshop or a teenager's retreat.

The surrounding gardens include a private entertainer's precinct, an ornamental lake with benches for relaxed contemplation and trails and tracks through native vegetation, home to a variety of local wildlife.
