Positioned deep behind a lushly landscaped garden with a 30m setback, this stunning period home on approx. 1060m2, feels like it’s miles from any hustle and bustle whilst enjoying one of Blackburn North’s most convenient locations. Meticulously updated by its owner (a registered builder) over the last 20 years, it offers all the modern amenities you’d expect from a luxury home whilst maintaining its distinctive country charm.

This was the original residence of the Slater family, who once owned sprawling orchards that covered the surrounding suburbs. Inside, the home is whisper quiet, with garden views from every room. Baltic pine floorboards, soaring 3.5 m ceilings, oversized rooms and front and rear verandas reflect the timeless luxury of a bygone era, with every element beautifully maintained.

The home’s living zones include a pleasant formal living room and a lovely farmhouse style kitchen with Tasmanian Oak cabinetry, granite benches and Miele appliances, opening to the dining area. Three robed bedrooms are well-sized and bright; the master suite features a WIR and ensuite.

There’s also a modern garden studio that may function as a teenage retreat or home office. With its soaring cathedral ceilings and S/S climate control, it’s a highlight of the property. The back garden is another standout with its stunning plantings, abundant fruit trees and quiet, peaceful orientation.

Additional features include a study area, new Breezair evaporative cooling system, solar heating, solar hot water, double garage with workshop and cooling, and for adventurous gourmets, a plumbed smokehouse at the rear.

Walking distance to top schools and moments from Eastlink, North Blackburn Square Shopping Centre and parkland, the property’s convenient location makes it a perfect match for families. Blending quality with charisma, and modern comfort with period charm, this distinctive home is truly one of a kind!
