A rare find is this substantial character home with hints of federation style set on a secluded, private, just under 1/2 of an acre. Raked timber lined ceilings with exposed timber beams give the home warmth and space in the huge central living, while the elegant separate lounge boasts high ceilings, ornate cornices and ceiling rosette. The updated kitchen and butlers pantry is central to both living areas and has a meals area, while the separate formal dining looks out to the bushy setting. The home suits zoned living with the masterbed, updated full ensuite and second bedroom are set to the front, with two more bedrooms and the bathroom are at the rear. There is an amazing study/retreat/loft above the central living that could be an open 5th bedroom or an artists studio. Huge garaging workshop would suit a business from home STCA, or collectors garaging and games entertaining for all those big events. An amazing unique secure retreat only 10-15 minute walk to Ferntree Gully train station, buses, and shops.
