Comfortable Now with Scope for the Future + Self Contained Bungalow

Description

Nestled into a grand elevated allotment, this well-loved home with a bonus self-contained bungalow offers something for now and loads of potential for the future. Emanating a cosy allure, the home has been updated over the years but is ripe for transformation (check out the hardwood floors under the lino!) or rebuild (STCA). On a terraced 1624m2, the “old orchard” block is lavishly sized with scope for further landscaping or plenty of space to expand on the veggie patches or the house footprint. The location will have you at the Lake in under 5-minutes and the community hubs of Lilydale, Montrose, Mooroolbark, Kilsyth and Mount Evelyn are all easily accessible with reputable schools such as MECS, Edinburgh College and Billanook minutes away.

Talking Points:

• Hearty Coonara style wood fire in the welcoming lounge with outlook to a majestic Japanese Maple and doors out to a terrace.
• Dine-in kitchen with earthy timber benches and a 900mm stainless-steel oven.
• Three bedrooms off a hallway serviced by a family bathroom with corner spa and a powder room.
• The seasonal comfort of split-system air-conditioning.
• Self-contained bungalow with a separate garden entrance (91A) living area, bedroom and a front deck warmed by a gas pot belly ideal for teens, home office/business or potential rental/Airbnb (STCA).
• Rainwater tank
• Single garage/workshop and off-street parking.


Insider’s Secret: Opposite is the Olinda Creek Track and Mount Evelyn Aquaduct Trail – a 5.8km loop primarily used for hiking, walking, running, and bird watching. You'll find yourself surrounded by tall eucalypts, tree ferns, Kookaburras, Rainbow Lorikeets and Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos.
