Showcasing a brilliantly broad frontage introduced by a charming Windsor picket fence, this vintage weatherboard classic is ripe for revival whilst maintaining all the quintessential ingredients that make a house a home. Elevated to capture north facing sunshine, the layout will suit a young family looking to settle into hills life with a fabulous walk to town locale with the bonus of a garden studio and dreamy merbau verandah.
High ceilings, richly stained hardwood floors, lashings of natural light and garden vistas delivered via expansive panes combine to create a haven that is ready and waiting to make new memories. Take a moment to savour the flourishing garden wonderland lovingly tended by multi-generations of the one family for almost 20 years. Camelias, roses, rosemary, lavender, irises, daisies, star jasmine, photinia, japonica, banksia, lily pilly, lilac and acacia trees all dot the allotment providing a lush outlook, welcoming shade and a burst of ever-changing colours throughout the seasons.
Talking Points:
•A big communal kitchen/meals is the heart of the home where you can congregate with family and friends for meals and conversation.
•An adjoining family room is perfect for gathering and an enclosed sunroom at the rear makes an ideal second living space when the kids want to turn up the volume.
•Three comfortable bedrooms with illuminating windows are serviced by a bathroom ripe for a contemporary makeover.
•Retreat to the sun dappled merbau deck (built only 2 years ago) for breakfast with birdsong, a spot of yoga or a magical place to work from home.
•Ascending the wisteria-clad garden steps you’ll arrive at an enchanting garden studio. This sun-kissed sanctuary is a place to take refuge from your day accompanied by the sweet scent of lavender and geraniums in the air. Utilise as a home office, cubby house, teen or artist’s retreat – the space will inspire all (please note interior is yet to be insulated and lined).
•Self-sustainable gardens are fully trenched in the old-fashioned manner with a sunny seven metre verge with deep garden bed along the fence line. Lush lawn is framed by fresh blooms and the shady delight of Japanese maple, manchurian pear and ornamental pear and cherry trees.
•A flat space carved into the side of the block is perfect for a trampoline or a firepit. The other side has a long gently undulating slope where kids can enjoy a slip and slide whilst the rear of the block provides a private backdrop with a landscape of mostly native vegetation.
•Extras include ducted heating and split system air-conditioning for comfort year-round, single garage and carport.
•Walking distance to the local pool, station, bus stop, Mater Christi College, Tecoma Primary School, St Thomas More Primary, Upwey High school and minutes from the bustle of both Belgrave and Tecoma main streets where you will find cinemas, shops, supermarkets, restaurants, and cafes.
