This sophisticated residence plus separate studio/office is surrounded by an acre of botanical wonderland in one of Burton Avenues most elevated positions. The perfectly zoned site invites you in and up to the privacy beyond as you pass the enchanting front garden along the riverstone driveway to the home and studio, both with outlooks to thrill from every window. Along pebble paths to the espalier pear grove and a kitchen garden to do the committed chefs among us proud and onward to a further fenced area the size of a suburban home plot with more potential uses than could be listed here. Stepping inside, you are immediately transfixed with the open, light living spaces that are central to bringing outside in, whilst allowing the privately positioned bedrooms to radiate out into their own nature retreat. A kitchen to enhance family or formalities with both formal and informal dining areas blending well with terrace entertaining or a sunset repose with glass in hand as you watch the days end and stars arrive. For an artist, hobbyist, home office, or as a teenager retreat, the air conditioned studio makes perfect sense. Separate, sun filled, and with its own kitchen and dining facilities, it adds that extra dimension to this already impressive package. All town services are available and connected, with supporting water storage tanks and tool storage & shedding. All this and still only 900 metres easy walk to the finest of Macedon Ranges dining and socialising opportunities in historic Pipers Street.
