Don Valley VIC 3139

Timber and glass French doors open into a good size hall, where your eye is immediately drawn to the feature walls of corrugated iron below the dado rail, deep timber framed windows and contemporary concrete floor. The house was purposefully designed with bedrooms in a separate wing to the right and the main open plan living area to the left of the entrance hall, both of which can be closed off preventing heat loss or noise. A further set of French doors open into the 10m2 open plan living area with stunning areas of inlaid floors of merbau and spotted blue gum, a soaring 5m pitched ceiling with exposed timber beams and post, ceiling fans for air flow and triple floor-to-ceiling picture windows capturing the stunning views. A large welcoming open fireplace radiates heat on a cold winter s night, and is a feature of the room with its brick chimney breast and hearth, solid timber mantelpiece and timber lined walls below the dado. Solomit strawboard ceiling panels provide excellent insulation further reducing heating/cooling costs. In addition, the house is warmed in winter from the kitchen s efficient Thermalux wood stove set against a brick feature wall, which can be used for cooking, as a hot water system, and also to vent heat through a ceiling cavity down to the bedrooms.
Overlooking the living area the stylish bespoke kitchen has a wall of Tassie oak cabinets providing excellent storage including deep drawers and a double pantry cupboard, ample timber benchtops, an island breakfast bar with black granite tops, electric Blanco oven and Westinghouse cooktop. A double sink looks out through windows to the rear garden and uphill to the dam and the ridgeline and double doors give access to the rear garden.
Off the entrance hall, is a spacious laundry with WC and double linen closet, opposite a large family bathroom with bath, corner shower and heat lamps for those cooler months. A rear door leads out to a covered veranda/porch mirroring the design of the front of the house.
Through into the carpeted bedroom wing, a hall leads down to the master bedroom and three large light-filled double bedrooms all enjoying tremendous views to the front or rear with BIRs, and the master bedroom has a spacious WIR, ensuite shower room with WC and corner vanity.
Outside, from the level gravel parking area the drive continues up to a large machinery shed with high clearance, ideal for high vehicles, with power and a mezzanine level for storage. A custom built merbau/iron shed complements the design of the homestead, and has a wood store to one side and a storage shed with concrete floor, glass door and window. Water is in plentiful supply with two water tanks continuously filled from the gravity fed springs that flow year round, two creeks that border the property and an endless supply of hot water from the system that holds 500L. A 1.5kw solar inverter and eight solar panels reduce energy bills as they feed back into the grid.
The elevated position this property commands, with such extensive views, and wineries and walking tracks on your doorstep, and its proximity to shops and schools of Yarra Junction and Healesville, make this an exceptional property for the discerning buyer.
