9 Jeanne Street, Cockatoo VIC 3781

Stepping into the gardens of this stylish home it is hard to suppress the desire to swing in the hammock beneath the magnificent dragon sapphire tree. If you can resist you will find a sanctuary from the world on ½ an acre.

With a palette informed by the surrounding bushland, the design of this home reflects the beauty of the natural elements. Sink into the sunken lounge and watch the seasons change through the picture windows. Enjoy warm days on the front veranda or warming yourself in front of the panoramic wood-fired heater, watching the light change the colour of the Sydney Blue Gum hardwood floor.

In this haven for the style-conscious, the kitchen is it! Ready to create gourmet delights whilst simultaneously feeding your desire for beauty. Detail is everywhere: the slate floor, the pressed metal island, the reclaimed blackwood bench and the exquisite individual Italian tiles in eucalypt green. The dining area connects the light-filled open plan living areas. Two double bedrooms have BIR and the master suite has a walk-in robe and opens onto the front veranda with views across to the Yarra Ranges.

The evocative bathroom features elegant Roger Sellar copper rose fittings and a handmade stone sink, plus a delicate freestanding bath nestled into the bay window sits on a travertine stone floor. The shower’s floor-to-ceiling one-way mirrored window offers you fine views as you wash your cares away.

The gardens host a two-car garage and terraced veggie patch, topped by a fantastic entertaining area with magnificent outlooks, ready for an evening of cocktails around the fire pit.

Make time to discover all this home has to offer.
