A serene retreat from the bustle of everyday life, this majestic Edwardian-styled residence is sure to impress with its subtle combination of period finesse and timeless contemporary appointments. Abundant northern sunlight crosses the lovely verandah and reflects off lavish polished timber floors, extending from the entrance foyer to the formal lounge with an ornate ceiling rose, rich leadlight windows and a corner bay window. Be completely mesmerised by the expansive panorama which fills the open-plan living with gas log fire, dining and gourmet granite kitchen with AEG/Falcon appliances and a butler's pantry. Stretching from the Macedon Ranges, past the city skyline and around to the Dandenong Ranges, this perfect vision can be enjoyed from the massive covered deck every day of the year. The master bedroom features a huge step-in built-in robe as well as a walk-in robe, serene window seat and heritage-styled spa ensuite. A bathroom with clawfoot bath and a powder room are decorated in elegant pressed metal, servicing 3 further double bedrooms, a study/5th bedroom and a 2nd study. Filled with flexible living for the entire family, a teen retreat with covered alfresco out to the landscaped garden and a massive games room, joining the double auto garage with kitchenette and workshop ticks all the boxes. Premium lifestyle extras include gas ducted heating and refrigerated cooling, ducted vacuum, external WC, 3-phase power and video intercom. An amazing location with so much to offer, live close to Hume Anglican Grammar, Mother Teresa Catholic Primary School, Mt Ridley College, Highlands Shopping Centre, bus, train station and the freeway.
