Magnificent views to the Melbourne city skyline and twinkling evening lights of Melbourne greet you upon arrival at the elevated, tri-level home of approximately 38 squares. Built on the Governors Estate it has a beautiful, established garden with a variety of plants including 100-year-old ferns, incredible mature Rhododendrons and Camellia trees over a terraced one acre-plus allotment.
As you arrive, you are welcomed by a fabulous bluestone wall adjacent to the front door, as well as narrow steps to draw you to other levels of the property. The quirky and flexible floor plan begins at the inviting front entrance and up to the bright, formal lounge with its striking feature stone fireplace. This space opens onto an extensive and private wrap-around entertaining deck, offering the perfect viewing platform to soak in those superb views and enjoy outdoor living amongst birdsong and verdant tree-tops. The modern kitchen/dining area with quality appliances continues to enjoy the spectacular scenery as you have a meal or even whilst washing the dishes! Up to the mezzanine level where one of the bedrooms with ensuite is utilised as a sitting room with its own access to the large side balcony. Another bedroom is currently used as a dressing room or adjoining bedroom. The restful main bedroom also has access to the garden and a small sitting area to relax and enjoy the quiet surrounds. The next level features a large rumpus room with Velux skylight that open to allow in the fresh mountain air, and currently used as one of the two offices in the home. Or you may wish to utilise these lovely spaces, with their snippets of panoramic views, as a studio or extra bedrooms. There are 2 bathrooms, large wine cellar (1000 bottles), extensive larder/storeroom, workshop/garage and plenty of storage areas. There is a heating & cooling system throughout the home for your comfort all year round, as well as a watering system in the garden surrounding the home.
Situated in an unsurpassed setting in an extremely desirable location, ‘Timaru’ is only minutes to the village for a coffee or a bite to eat with friends.
