10 Old Coonara Road

Olinda VIC 3788

Heralded by a lavish living/dining domain helmed by a spectacular gas log fireplace featuring a richly decorated carved wooden surround, this family heart symbolises the warmth and comfort of a classically designed residence where all the rooms are of impressive size. A set of double French doors spill to an enclosed patio with café blinds for all-season entertaining or hosting the extended family on Christmas Day.

A separately zoned country-style kitchen will inspire home chefs with well-lit diamond leadlight cabinetry, island bench and stainless-steel appliances including a new 900mm SMEG upright cooker. Flowing from here, a covered deck with electric blinds is the perfect spot to watch the changing skies at sunset with your favourite brew.

Parent’s will be drawn to the master bedroom with walk-in robe and fully tiled ensuite, whilst a second bedroom of size also features a lavish walk-in robe and window seat. Both these rooms have dual-aspect windows that frame picture-perfect garden views. Bedroom 3 is so spacious it could also be utilised as a second living area, or with its separate access via the study with built-in desk, the perfect set-up for teenagers or adult children who come and go. Bedroom 4 is sequestered in its own wing and has space for a study nook and views of the twinkling urban lights, whilst yesteryear charm is celebrated in the family bathroom gleaming with a gold monsoon shower over a claw foot bath and heritage tiles.

Perfectly manicured hedges, and meandering pathways dot the flat allotment creating “garden rooms” that will spark joy among green thumbs and creates a magical setting to raise a family. Off the deck facing west, a paved area flows to a lush patch of lawn where you can enjoy homegrown from the veggie patch. Through a gate is where garden glory begins with a quaint cubby house that could be repurposed for chooks, a firepit zone to enjoy late night chats under starry skies and your very own avocado tree for fresh guacamole.

A kaleidoscope of established flora and lush foliage includes a rhododendron walk, Japanese camellias, evergreen azaleas, clivias, lily of the valley, roses, Mediterranean spurge, vibrant red pontic rhododendrons, Japanese cherry, towering tree ferns, fragrant daphne and a magnificent waratah. Of note, a circa 1890 gate at the northern corner imported from Glasgow-based foundry company W MacFarlane & Co. framed by bricks from Ordish Fire Brick Co, a magnificently recommissioned fountain that is the golden centrepiece of the garden and a grand copper beech tree that creates a rich canopy come spring. You also have an amphitheatre style space with an arbor where you can picnic in privacy, host a modern-day soiree or simply soak up the serenity accompanied by black cockatoos and king parrots.

Its privileged setting is situated within a thriving peaceful community, poised conveniently between Olinda and Monbulk and an easy stroll to renowned Cloudehill. It’s also a short drive from an amazing array of world-renowned tourist attractions. Don’t delay. Enquire today.
