SOLD by Jellis Craig. Historically significant to the area, this magnificent home reminiscent of the English Gothic era, and with strong origins to the iconic Montsalvat artists community, has been carefully enhanced and extended by the current owners whilst maintaining its proud heritage and undeniable appeal. Showcasing a warm textural combination of rendered mudbrick juxtaposed with reclaimed timbers, bluestone and slate; the dynamic mix of living areas includes an impressively large living/dining room enhanced by an open fire and ornate ceiling with timber beams, accompanied by a quiet snug with a discreet wine cellar.
The central kitchen/meals zone is divine, equipped with handmade tiles, a marble island breakfast bar, twin ovens, induction cooktop and an integrated fridge/freezer. Tucked away on this level is a guest bedroom with courtyard access and use of an elegant bathroom featuring the original marble bathtub and English handbasin.
Head up an antique Cedar staircase carefully sourced from an old hotel and marvel at the stunning 1880s stained glass window, leading to the indulgently large master bedroom with views over the courtyard, a walk-in robe and luxe ensuite; paired with a home office/nursery, a library with a cosy open fire and two additional bedrooms (one with a Juliet balcony, the other with an ensuite), and a central shower room.
The beautifully kept gardens sprawl over 1 ¼ flat acres, and majestic outdoor areas feature a gazebo overlooking the huge dam, and a classically French-inspired red-brick terrace with a water feature forming the centrepiece of the courtyard; flanked by a self-contained 1-bedroom studio and an original outhouse repurposed with a fully equipped kitchen, pizza oven, laundry, storage room and toilet.
An extensive list of features includes automated gates, hydronic heating, split system air conditioning, alarm system, hardwood floors, irrigation system, water tank, double carport and a double auto garage with a large workshop. Set in a prestigious yet secluded location surrounded by parks and trails, and just minutes from quality schools, Eltham Village and Westfield Doncaster.
