One of the most iconic and architecturally significant homes in the entire Coonans Hill precinct, this original double-storey home displays all the elegance and finesse of its mid-century origins while providing a family lifestyle of immediate quality and versatility. Set on an elevated corner allotment with views all the way to the Macedon Ranges, this remarkable residence boasts three main bedrooms (large master) all with built-in robes, as well as a study/fourth bedroom, neat central bathroom and additional powder room (second WC). Intelligently designed to provide an abundance of natural light throughout, the home also features a spacious and versatile open living/dining area with open fireplace complemented by an adjoining kitchen complete with built-in breakfast nook and servery. Instantly engaging with tremendous renovation potential, the home also includes gas heating, split-system air conditioning and additional ceiling fans, together with a full-size laundry and under-stair storeroom, high ceilings, original steel-frame windows and Australiana etched-glass front door surrounds. Adding to the appeal is a private backyard with thriving perimeter veggie patches, lush front garden (also private) with views and extensive brick paving ideal for relaxing or entertaining, plus a wrap-around upstairs balcony (also with views) and remote-control tandem double garage with internal entry.
