Built with extended family living in mind, this peaceful property includes two substantial family homes, and a self-contained studio/garage.

The original home, featured in architectural magazines of its time, is a unique and artistic three bedroom home with views to the Dandenong Ranges. It features an open plan living area with updated kitchen overlooking a cottage garden, a separate lounge or playroom, and three spacious bedrooms. A large deck off the living area provides a beautiful compliment to the original, warm, hardwood-lined lounge area. Outside there are flat spaces for play, including the original badminton court (a must for country retreats of the time!), a cubby house, a tree house and a built-in BBQ. A large workshop provides a welcome and spacious retreat for the home handyperson as well.

The new, two bedroom, double-hexagon home
offers a spacious and airy kitchen and living area, and two bedrooms overlooking gently sloping native bushland. A wrap-around verandah and additional large back deck provides ample space for outdoor entertaining. Built by committed raw vegans, you may wish to install an oven – the gas is piped and readily available to the bespoke timber kitchen. Clever design includes a combined bathroom/laundry, as well as under-house workspace and storage. Much effort has been put into making this an eco-friendly dwelling, with solar panels (supplying energy to both houses), double glazing, recycled water available from the reed-bed system, rainwater tanks, extensive vegetable gardens and a range of maturing fruit trees.

The two homes are situated approximately 50 metres apart, perfect for property sharing with the grandparents, but also suitable for use as investment rental(s) (always sought-after in the area). A large parking area is available between the two homes. Here also sits the studio/garage (with functional kitchenette), perfect for a work-from-home business, artist’s space, or teenage retreat.

The property is a short walk to Yarra river, the central Warrandyte shopping and cultural precinct, and public transport to the centre of Melbourne (40 mins by Smartbus).
