Mid-Century Modern Classic on Almost ¾ Acre with Silvan Dam Views

Beaming from its designer refresh, this mid-century modern classic has an elegant sense of retro warmth and views out to Silvan Dam you can celebrate from your expansive entertainer’s deck. A lavish open plan living/meals domain is divided by a striking brick fireplace that nurtures a new Coonara wood burner because nothing defines hills living more than fireside ambience. Still in its original state (because good retro never goes out of fashion) is the kitchen with breakfast bench… and if you close your eyes, you’ll smell the fondue that would have been made here back in the day. <br/><br/>The seductive earthy palette with soaring raked ceilings, lashings of whitewashed exposed brick and a stunning Tassie Oak floorboard reveal (they were found hiding under the carpet) bring solace and warmth to a home that is brimming with bespoke charm and robust 60s character. Perched on a prime ¾ acre (approx.), the generous floorplan extends downstairs to a rumpus/office/fourth bedroom with its own separate entrance. So much flexibility here! And when it’s time to retire, the three bedrooms are highlighted by a sequestered master wing with ensuite and walk-in robe along with stunning sunrises you can enjoy from under the covers. The family bathroom swings back to retro flair with a timeless pop of colour via its tantalising tiles. <br/><br/>The glorious gardens have had a brilliant makeover too with open lawns framed by extensive stonework creating spaces to potter, picnic and play with a flat alfresco entertaining zone on the lower level and the majestic deck where even the original lamp posts have been revigorated. Here you can host family and friends, stargaze or simply soak up the serenity of this magical haven. The area, street and home is exceptionally quiet and tranquil, you will look forward to coming home everyday. Often, you’ll find yourself watching the Native Birds from inside or on the deck.<br/><br/>Only a few minutes’ drive from Sky High for unbeatable views of Melbourne, walking distance to Destiny Point Café for your morning latte, Silvan Dam lookout and the #688 bus stop and a commutable distance from Melbourne CBD make this home a desirable blend of lifestyle and location.<br/><br/><br/>At a Glance:<br/>•3-bedroom, 2-bathroom 60s era double brick home on a sizable 2945m2.<br/>•Sweeping driveway with gated entrance framed by an original stone wall leading to a forecourt and double garage.<br/>•Huge open-plan lounge/dining that defined the era with a new Coonara fire centrepiece and Tasmanian Oak floors. <br/>• Generator switch installed in switchboard for easy use<br/>•Expansive open-air deck with views out to Silvan Dam. <br/>•Original kitchen and bathrooms with plenty of retro vibes.<br/>•Master with ensuite and walk-in robe separately zoned at the front of the home.<br/>•Vast under house rumpus/fourth bedroom zone which would make an ideal teen retreat, man-cave, home business/studio or in-law accommodation. <br/>•Secure under-house storage room.<br/>•Flat lawn areas that will be a haven for child’s play or sitting around the fire pit.<br/>•An array of flora, fauna and birdlife in the breathtaking gardens.<br/>•Rear side entrance via a communal ROW.<br/>•Updated lights and plumbing.<br/><br/>Disclaimer: All information provided has been obtained from sources we believe to be accurate, however, we cannot guarantee the information is accurate and we accept no liability for any errors or omissions (including but not limited to a property's land size, floor plans and size, building age and condition) Interested parties should make their own enquiries and obtain their own legal advice.<br/><br/>
