What an exciting opportunity to secure one of Hightons oldest residences (circa 1878) set on a large parcel of land (approx. 2500 sqm) surrounded by enchanting English style gardens, expansive lawned areas as well as a flood lit tennis court.
Behind a secure high fence with electronic gates sits this gracious early Victorian residence complete with wide verandahs in character of the era. Upon entry the wide central hallway leads you to grand formal living and separate dining rooms both featuring OFPs, polished floorboards, intricate light fittings and soaring ceilings. Master BR also with OFP, dressing area and ensuite facilities.
The home having been extended to suit a large family flows seamlessly to the open plan living featuring Brushed Box floorboards. The well appointed kitchen with walk-in pantry and an abundance of cupboards overlooks the light filled conservatory style meals area, perfect for casual dining whilst taking in the delightful garden vistas.
Set behind feature sliding doors is the study/library with built in cabinetry and full length bookshelves fulfilling all the family storage requirements whilst providing the perfect place to work or relax. This space can also be opened to become integrated to the informal family area. A further 2 BRs at the rear of the home are service by central bathroom and separate toilet. The home is comforted with hydronic heating throughout.
Externally the grounds provide a private and tranquil setting with plenty of room for all the family with the added bonus of a full sized north/south tennis court.
A large timber garage provides plenty of storage.
This truly is a rare opportunity to acquire a period home on a large parcel of land within the heart of Highton within walking distance to Christian College, local shops, bus routes and in close proximity to Deakin University, Epworth Hospital as well as easy access to the Ring Road for the commute to Melbourne.
A beautiful home for your family to enjoy for years to come!
