“Hillview” Circa 1950 Character Weatherboard with a Masterful Transformation

Description

A prestigious Rutherford Road address perfectly positioned between Upwey and Tecoma is home to “Hillview”, a circa 1950-character weatherboard that benefits from a masterful transformation with a thoughtful footprint that can grow with the many seasons of your family. A design triumph - every detail, every aspect, every finish has been carefully considered, where you will discover classic meets contemporary at every turn all quietly placed on a glorious flat almost half acre block with a bonus studio and four-car garage with 3-phase power. And all this just footsteps from Tecoma Village and train station!

Warmed by a striking gas log fire, a cosy lounge and lavish meals zone culminates in an open plan heart that heralds a gourmet kitchen with 900mm Ilve cooker, Bosch dishwasher, sleek cabinetry, communal stone-topped island and sublime pressed metal splashback.

Tucked behind is a parent's retreat deserving of the heads of the household - the seductive hotel-style ensuite enhancing the perfect place to rest and rejuvenate.

Rich blackbutt floors guide you to a three-bedroom wing where an impressive trio of robed comfort is further enhanced by a skylit family bathroom with deep soak bath for day’s end.

A second living space housed behind alluring French doors with chic plantation shutters means big families can kick back in comfort if there’s a fight over the remote.
With beautiful views of the ridge line and contemporary cottage gardens that seem to go on forever from the inviting vine-clad deck, you’ll never tire of the stunning grounds as you relax with friends and your favourite vino. Conversation will extend well into the night around the firepit.

A haven for kids who can safely play among lush lawn framed by fruit trees (plum, nectarine, cherry, olive, apples, oranges and mandarins) self-sustainable souls will also love the Tahj Mahal of chook pens and a well-established veggie garden where you can enjoy a bountiful harvest.

A bonus - a separate studio with bathroom and verandah is ideal for the extended family, older children who are yet to fly the coop, home office/business or guest accommodation.

It only takes a Google view to sum up the lifestyle excellence…a meander to Tecoma Village, an amble down the hill to Upwey and a stroll up the hill to Belgrave. Cafes, restaurants, bars, boutiques, cinemas, schools and supermarkets are all within easy reach.
