Description

Step back in time and immerse yourself in the charm of yesteryear with this enchanting 1950s original home, nestled on a traditional 4-acre bush block. “Leytonstone” is not just a house; it's a testament to the enduring love and dedication of its one and only owner who meticulously built and expanded it as his family grew. Poised in exclusive Belfast Road – well established and tightly held acreage properties abound with privacy and peace at the forefront of this coveted locale. With prestigious Billanook College and the Adventist Academy nearby together with every convenient amenity including the Montrose Town Centre and shops only minutes away, this secluded haven offers a world of opportunity whether you're seeking a peaceful escape, a small-scale farming adventure, or a haven for horses. Renovate or re-build, the magical setting is unwavering and delivers a rare rural lifestyle with urban convenience.
The home's triple-fronted design is a nod to the architectural style of the mid-century era, exuding an irresistible appeal that is both nostalgic and timeless. Sash windows and picture rails add allure, timber parquetry floors deliver an extra layer of charm, and a back-to-back fireplace serves as the heart of the home, providing cosy ambience. There are three bedrooms and two living areas or four bedrooms depending on your lifestyle needs. The kitchen is neat and functional with a great open plan design to the meals zone and there’s a sunroom/living providing a flexible space for a home office space or further living.
The property boasts six fenced paddocks, perfect for hobbyists, equestrian enthusiasts or just those craving the country life. A functioning windmill stands tall on the land, capable of pumping water to sustain your agricultural needs or hobby pursuits and three bores further ensure that water supply is never an issue on this fertile land.
The grounds are adorned with fruit trees bearing juicy citrus and apples, ready for you to pick and enjoy and also features a majestic Palm tree standing guard over traditional English gardens filled with magnolias, rhododendrons, lilacs, camelias, and wisteria with an eclectic mix of spruces, Norfolk pine and native gums. A rare Judas tree adds an exotic touch to this verdant paradise.
Storage will never be an issue with abundant shedding and outbuildings scattered across the property. Two single garages provide secure parking for your vehicles while five woodsheds offer ample space for storing firewood or other essentials. An old-fashioned outdoor laundry adds to the rustic charm of this property, and a chicken house awaits your feathered friends.
Charming as it is, the home also offers endless potential for those with a vision. Renovate to restore its former glory or knockdown/rebuild to create your dream home on this expansive acreage. Don't miss out on this rare opportunity to own a slice of the past and shape it into your future.
