Privately set on its 1205 sqm (approx.) corner, the character-rich residence presents beautiful living areas, a magnificent wraparound verandah, thriving vegetable plots and beautifully landscaped English gardens for country weekender magic in this heartland location that’s zoned for the Vermont PS & Vermont SC catchment area. The circa 1920s built weatherboard offers all the charm of the art deco era – boasting 10ft ceilings and leadlight windows, and refashioned with new wiring, plastering, central heating, freshly polished jarrah floors and a spectacular open plan living wing. Plus, with its lounge, dining, and entry floors all sanded & polished (April 2022) and a new ducted heating unit installed in May 2022, it’s sure to welcome the family with charm, comfort, and space across its grand expanse! The north facing aspect of the kitchen and family room infuses the main living area with gorgeous natural light, creating a radiant and free flowing setting in which to cook, relax and connect. All that light-filled living space flows across to the romantic return verandah and makes light work of entertaining – with a magnificent kitchen elevated to let you gaze across the home-grown produce and border of stunning ornamental pear trees. The zoned bedrooms, positioned either side of the central living rooms, provide flexibility for the growing and inter-generational family, ideally suited to give parents their own private retreat with an elegantly updated bathroom featuring a party sized shower and regular spa bath. A second master bedroom with an open shower ensuite sets up young adults or ageing parents with their own independent quarters, smartly designed to overlook the back verandah and BBQ courtyard – a peaceful backdrop for retirees. This home also boasts a list of impressive inclusions: A powerful solar array of 20 panels and a 5kwh inverter, updated hot water service, 2 workshops/hobby studios, a double carport with roller door and generous driveway for extra parking. All this makes for a fully featured family sanctuary which sweeps the corner of Centre Rd and Gallus Close – or the foundations for future townhouse development (STCA) in this prized Vermont district. Enjoy a short walk to the top performing public schools, the 742 bus to Eastland and Chadstone out front, and surrounding parks, playgrounds, and medical services from the fertile grounds of the old orchards that this community was built on.
