Home isn’t so much a place as it is a feeling, and this “Huis in Bos” (house in the forest) has all the feels in abundance. Charmingly introduced by a private service lane, the character home has been designed with big and growing families in mind and with fresh updates throughout, it is ripe for its next chapter. Spend your mornings collecting fresh eggs from the hen house and your days enjoying crisp hills air as you feed the King Parrots and listen to the birdlife hum a melody. At night you can retreat for a nightcap to the rear deck or if the skies look promising head up to Sky High for spectacular sunsets. This rare level allotment on iconic Ridge Road also has rear access via Prion Road allowing easy entry for trailers, boats or caravans which is a rare find in the hills.
A well-considered floorplan comprises two spacious living zones - a family room with crackling Coonara-style wood fire and a lounge at the rear so families of any age or stage can spread out and do their own thing. There is plenty of opportunity to congregate around the breakfast bar of the skylit country-style kitchen with stone-look benches and stainless-steel cooking appliances and Bosch dishwasher and enjoy family meal-time in the dining nook with French doors to the leafy garden.
Five generously sized bedrooms featuring Colonial-style windows with alluring alcoves provide a restful place for your downtime including a master with ensuite and luxe walk-in robe. The minor bedrooms are serviced by a spacious family bathroom with bath and shower.
An alfresco deck at the rear is a great spot to relax as you watch the kids frolic below in the cubby house or on the trampoline. Alternatively, host friends and family with a weekend barbeque. Step down to the incredible lawn with treed backdrop which provides a blank canvas for a range of lifestyle pursuits including ample space for backyard cricket or a slip and slide.
In addition to the residence is a great sized studio or man cave wired for gaming and big screen technology that can be used to work from home, set up the pool table, operate a home business or use as a teen retreat. And the chickens too deserve their slice of luxury with the “Taj Mahal” of chicken coops featuring a custom enclosure, water tank, walk-in hen house and lots of space to roam. The Isa Browns can stay if you think they are as cute as we do!
Further highlights include ducted heating for extra winter warmth, CCTV and Back to Base alarm system (not connected but installed), NBN wired to the man cave, single carport, an abundance of off-street parking, gabled roof workshop and a wood storage shed. The home also has new carpet in most spaces and has been freshly painted throughout.
Only a few minutes’ drive from stunning Burke’s Lookout and Sky High for unbeatable views of Melbourne, the #688 and #694 bus stop and world class tourist attractions of the magnificent Dandenong Ranges. Don’t delay. Enquire today.
