4-6 Anderson St, Lilydale VIC

Wind back the clock a few years to the 1920's and just imagine the effort, time and craftsmanship that went into building homes in that era. Attention to detail was the key, combined with the use of local materials to keep the economy on its feet. This home was no different. Originally built as a cosy cottage for the Manager of the Lilydale Quarry, it's features like the rustic, earthy stones used on the fire places and feature surrounds of the buildings are what highlight the journey of this family home. The positioning of the building on the approx half acre block which has 2 separate titles deserves full credit too; an amazing amount of natural light floods in from every angle, with the encouragement of expansive windows and doors in most rooms. Sitting length ways on the property, the home is configured of three large bedrooms, a bright study with a gas Rinnai heater and open fire place, a large timber bathroom set with your own private spa bath, a lengthy sunroom/family room that overlooks the back landscape, as well as a separate formal lounge and dining room again with an open fire place and a warming afternoon Westerly light. To finish the floorplan: a kitchen and meals zone that has the temptation to make one want to potter and bake until your heart's content. There's also a second toilet in the laundry, another 2 gas wall heaters, a combination of floor coverings, including slate, tiles and hardwood timber, as well as covered car accommodation for up to 5 vehicles, with plenty of off street parking also available. The property boasts a central location that connects with Lilydale Main street and Lilydale Lake in just a short walk, with public transport links at your convenience, as well as schools, cafe's and the beauty of the Yarra Valley at your doorstep.
