New Owner Required For Very Special Property
There is a sense of both the old and the new in this wonderful home located on 10 acres in Ross Creek. The original owners built this Federation-style house 21 years ago with bricks from a decommissioned railway bridge in Northcote. Now the kids have all grown up the owners are ready to pass this house onto another very special family. There's room for everyone with four spacious bedrooms (each with a built in robe) and a separate home office/study with loads of shelving. The generous master bedroom has a walk-in-robe, spa en-suite and uninterrupted views across acres of established private garden and beyond. The family bathroom features huge picture windows that allow you to soak up the view while you soak in the luxury of the deep clawfoot bath.
