Description
Rich in character with contemporary flair where it counts, “Glendara” circa 1920 delivers a unified blend of charm and authenticity such as high ceilings, ceiling roses, polished Sydney blue gum floors and two toasty hills essential fireplaces complementing modern convenience to deliver a distinct offering for the growing family. With city glimpses and views across Lysterfield and French Island from its feature boardwalk deck, and a separate downstairs zone with teen appeal or BnB/multi-generation potential – there’s so much to love about this majestic hills haven on a grand 1907m2.
A sun-dappled open plan living space drinks in a treed outlook and spills to the covered alfresco deck via bi-fold doors with a grand golden elm and beech backdrop adding to the allure. Meals can be enjoyed in the window-side banquette or there’s plenty of space to combine a big table and a sofa.
A contemporary kitchen shines with 900mm stainless-steel cooker, dishwasher and chic farmhouse sink. Meanwhile, Melbourne winters can be enjoyed fireside in the cosy lounge or back in the living area - the ultimate luxury to embrace the colder seasons.
Upstairs the heads of the house will enjoy a palatial retreat with stunning garden outlooks including a private balcony, spa ensuite and walk-in robe. Two bedrooms on the main level share a lavish family bathroom featuring free standing claw foot bath and a double shower paired with polished floors.
A brilliant bonus resides under the house with its own separate entrance - a fully self-contained zone with a kitchenette and combined contemporary bathroom/laundry ideal as a teen retreat, BnB or guest/multigeneration accommodation.
Outdoors is of course highlighted by the glorious rear deck where you can sit with a late afternoon cuppa or chilled glass of bubbles and witness the rising and setting sun weaving its shiny magic across the treetops.
