Description
Oh’ What a place to Live! Privately tucked away on a glorious 1803sqm, and in one of the most convenient and peaceful settings you will find.
The end of Acacia Road feels like a secluded access laneway, especially with no neighbours across the road, just the Minno Creek Linear Reserve and a beautiful stroll down to Apex Park, Joans Pantry and Hawthorndene Oval. You can also walk to the train and Blackwood Village.
This beautiful property presents in excellent condition – an Architect’s own home in 1975, and it shows!
The linear and split-level design follows the natural contours of this amazing allotment, where a creek setting falls from the back to the front of the land. The shape of the home means you can live all around outside, and have that feeling of seclusion and being in the environment.
A detached Architect’s Studio with its own bathroom & kitchen is a unique element to this wonderful property, and will have great appeal with a variety of different uses. The space has certain character all-of-its-own, almost that of a cedar chalet! High angled ceilings with exposed structural beams and cedar clad walls are classic features, while big windows all around are a blissful connect to the outdoors – you will have to come and feel it for yourself.
Inside the main home, the floorplan is – spacious with three or four bedrooms, versatile with two kitchens, and is full of life and character. It has a mid-century soul.
It is all solid brick and with split-level concrete foundations. The open plan main living area has raked acoustic ceilings and beautiful big window profiles that look out to greenery, and the north winter sun where you can see the sky and it all feels very private.
The main bedroom is very private at one end of the home. A huge room with space to lounge in front of floor-to-ceiling windows and an extended slab-edge that falls away to the gardens. The light filled ensuite is also quite large and close to original – all good here, and with great potential too!
Bedroom’s two and three are private rooms and share a main bathroom with separate toilet. Bedroom two is different in the way that it is a walk-through room with entry to a large open-plan living room, with its own complete kitchen! This end of the home is a perfect set-up for multi-purpose independent accommodation. It has large windows, its own access, and is air-conditioned. Adjacent the main living area is a fourth bedroom or home-office. And the laundry with direct access to an undercover verandah that almost spans the length of the home.
The main living and dining area has good dimensions. It is open to a fabulous Scandinavian style kitchen with light timber veneered benchtops, and white cabinetry that contrast with vibrant tiled splashbacks. It is a clean, fresh and practical kitchen with a concealed dishwasher, room for a double-fridge, excellent storage and open bench space.
Come winter time, in addition to the warm winter sun that will fill this space, there is a wood-fired combustion heater, and split-system air-conditioning for complete comfort.
From the main living area, there is access to an open paved area, while on the other side of the home, there is a huge undercover patio-pergola and a secure spa-bath. There is a spot for the barbeque, favourite pots, table tennis, bikes and more!
The outdoors’ are a treat! The kids will have a ball exploring the 1803sqm (0.45acre) allotment, and the secluded environment that is connected this end of Acacia Road. It is an absolutely idyllic setting. And for couples who love to garden, it is a paradise.
You feel private from neighbouring properties, there are open lawn areas zoned around the home, an accompanying Eucalypt tree that would look amazing with uplighting, a garden work-shed with power and a concrete floor, wandering gardens and walkways!
A long concrete drive through a green front yard environment provides access to a freestanding double carport and wood store.
There is a ramped walkway to the front door or steps up to the detached studio. Under the brick and cedar clad studio, there is a dry storage area for the camping equipment and sorts.
What a property to own and an environment to come home to. Imagine weekends at home, and how lucky we are to call this part of the world … Home.
