Last Listing description (January 2008)

Star quality
A tropical backyard with a beautiful big pool, entertaining cabana and guest pavilion are fantastic bonus lifestyle features of this charismatic heritage villa that Mel Gibson once called home.
Dating from 1860, the original farmhouse from when the race course was a dairy farm has evolved into a flexible four bedroom family home that successfully combines all the charm of yesteryear with contemporary livability.

Modern additions with raked ceilings and a spectacular conservatory-style bay incorporate a galleried mezzanine and spacious open plan family room overlooking the stunning backyard. Pick up the remote to activate the pool's solar heating or adjust the garden lighting scheme.
A cast iron staircase is a memento of bygone tram travel and leads aloft to a super spacious carpeted home office with excellent storage and two work stations, giving you the option to run a business from home.
Dinner parties are effortlessly catered in the superb solid timber country-style kitchen which has loads of great storage, an integrated dishwasher and Smeg cooking appliances. A breakfast bar creates a handy divide between the kitchen and adjacent dining room where a corner chimney with a beaten copper hood provides another link to the home's past.
Relax in front of the TV in the adjoining den which easily transforms to a fourth bedroom under the main roof. Three further bedrooms include a beautiful master bedroom with French door access from the hall and a stunning contemporary ensuite bathroom. Opposite, the formal lounge, again with French door access, doubles as a quiet parents' retreat.
A gas space heater, ducted reverse cycle air conditioning, security alarm and video intercom are also provided for your comfort and peace of mind.
Weekend guests will relish their own private space at the bottom of the garden where a solid brick pavilion comprising a double bedroom and ensuite bathroom opens onto the pool area via three sets of French doors and adjoins a double auto garage with rear lane access.
If like the present owners you love the outdoors lifestyle, you will live in the manicured tropical gardens all summer long. Between dips in the fully tiled pool, enjoy alfresco dining with family and friends beneath the thatched roof of a Balinese hut. Stunning mass plantings of water wise plants on an auto dripper system and metres of beautiful red brick and slate paving make the upkeep of this city fringe oasis minimal.
Zoned for Marryatville High School and walking distance to Rose Park Primary, this scintillating family property of up to five bedrooms is also just metres to the race course and surrounded by great local eateries.
