Solid timber doors with ornate mouldings grace each room as you enter this home, with a traditional layout of central hallway, quiet deep bedrooms at the front, and an ‘in keeping with the theme’ eclectic kitchen.

The property is nestled beneath sacred Wil-im-ee Moor-ring (Mt William) and is within coo-ee to Ngannelong (Hanging Rock) and surrounds.
The rear garden blooms an enchanting fulfillment of flowering bulbs, stunning roses, and summer is sheltered by a canopy of green leafy elm. As night falls you can sit around your own firepit and enjoy the clarity of magical, starry skies above the Macedon Ranges. To the rear of the allotment is a freestanding double car garage with power, a work bench, and access from the side street.
