Locals will know of this very special property, endearingly referred to as the Church House. Carefully designed and named after northern Scotland's ancient and grand 'Broch' buildings, this lovely unique family home is being offered for sale for the very first time.
Amid its established bush garden, 'The Broch' has double-brick outer walls, dual-level floorplan, high ceilings and boasts beautiful cedar, oregon and eucalypt timberwork. The polished hardwood floors and 2.6m ceilings grace the ground floor lounge and dining rooms and the master bedroom.
An open fireplace warms the lounge, with cavity sliding doors to embrace or exclude the dining room, and the master bedroom has built-in robes and retro wall lights. The ground floor also has a pristine kitchen with space to accommodate a dining table or additional cabinetry, a spacious laundry, a bathroom with separate shower and bath, and ample storage cupboards. Upstairs there are two bedrooms (one with a balcony and views to the Dandenongs), another bathroom, a nice retreat area, and a large loft storage area, which could readily be converted into extra living/bedroom areas, perhaps with the addition of a north-facing dormer window or two.
Inclusions: gas heating, split system cooling, water tank and a single garage with a remote-controlled door.
Built in the mid-1970s it sits on a part of the original Strathdon Orchard land of 469 Springvale Road (now owned by Whitehorse Council), but previously owned by the Matheson family, who are now selling The Broch, exactly 100 years since Captain Charles Matheson purchased the property.
(Strathdon Community across Jolimont Road also arising from this same history.)
This sheltered corner allotment enjoys north and easterly aspects in a most convenient location, adjacent to Parkmore Primary School and near to Whitehorse Horticultural Centre and gardens, Strathdon Reserve, Brentford Square and Burwood One shops.
Further nearby amenities include Forest Hill Chase & Aqualink, plus access to buses, trams, trains and other schools.
Within walking distance are the local Jolimont Road shops with its popular cafe, and Springvale Road shops, medical centre and discount chemist.
