Sold by David Alvares 0410 496 995 - Hoskins Maroondah 'Blooms Cottage' was once a very modest log cabin, now completely transformed into a tranquil tree-top sanctuary with breathtaking vistas, this sprawling single-level home seamlessly blends impressive design, spectacular scenery and a serene ambience, offering a tranquil sanctuary for family living. Complementing its natural surroundings, the home is embraced by beautiful gardens and the soft chorus of birdlife. Peaceful and private yet only 5 minutes by car to Warrandyte Village, you are welcomed inside to a sun-drenched living room with a cosy wood fire, alongside a dining zone with a large bay window and seamless access to a return balcony and alfresco deck. The gourmet kitchen will inspire home chefs with its stainless-steel appliances, a peninsular stone breakfast bar and excellent storage options. The master bedroom features balcony access, a built-in robe and a luxe ensuite, paired with two additional robed bedrooms, a home office with a potbelly stove/4th bedroom and a stylish family bathroom with a deep bathtub and stone-topped vanity. Offering the perfect place to entertain, gaze out over the treetops from the balcony and enjoy the serenity, and if you're lucky, you might spot king parrots, echidnas, kangaroos, deer, and cockatoos as they wander around the backyard. Property highlights include a large side deck with an open fire wrapped in stone, a versatile yoga studio, hardwood floors, split system air conditioning, solar electricity, ceiling fans, under house storage, a storage room/wine cellar, double auto garage and side gates leading to additional off-street parking. In a central location zoned for Warrandyte Primary and High School, minutes from Yarra Warra Preschool and Bush Kindergarten, Warrandyte State Park and the majestic Yarra River with kilometres from scenic walking trails, with proximity to The Pines Shopping Centre, and elite private schools. Please note: there are approved plans and permits for an extension that would include 3 additional bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, plus a rumpus/games room - ideal if you're a larger, growing or multi-generational family.
