LISTING DESCRIPTION
as of November 2011

'Yarra Heights' Set into a north facing hill and constructed in the 1930s of Warrandyte stone and vertical boards, 'Yarra Heights' is indicative of the 'Warrandyte Style' homes designed and built by two women architects, Alexa Goyder and Myrtle Houston, in the surrounding bushland at that time. This character 4 bedroom plus study home even today conveys the very essence of Warrandyte and remains evocative of the era past.Set on 1,016 sq m approx of elevated land and merging at the rear into the natural bush of the Warrandyte State Park, this enchanting home is surrounded by a garden of English style plantings at the front and natives at the rear, cleared spaces and stone walls and provides sweeping tree top views from house and garden.The house is built on two levels, on the upper level is the L shaped living and dining room featuring timber floors, gas log fire and opening onto a sheltered balcony. There is a charming kitchen, with a touch of French provincial farmhouse, overlooking the back garden and whose solid timber benches could probably tell a story or two about wonderful meals served over the decades. High ceilings, original doors and windows add character and ambiance throughout the home. The main bedroom and three others are generous in size, flooded with light and are serviced by the family bathroom and separate toilet.Downstairs is s second spacious living area, abundant under house storage and a large home office or fifth bedroom. Accessed by a separate entrance is a fully self contained bed sitter, currently rented, but which could serve admirably as teenage accommodation.This is a delightful home, an ideal situation for a growing family, a reminder of lifestyles and values past and an individual house steeped in the character and history of Warrandyte.* Character 4 bedroom plus study home* Elevated bushland setting* Sweeping tree top outlook* 2 generous living areas* Self contained bed sitter with separate entry* Home office or 5th bedroom**Photo ID required at all open for inspections**Terms: 10% deposit, balance 60/90 daysLand: 1,016 sq m approx.
