10 Matheson Road

As a homestead from the famous Strathdon Orchards, this charmer offers rich history with contemporary comfort to cement your family's position in one of the most well-serviced pockets of Forest Hill. Retaining its beautiful clinker bricks, sash windows and barn roof, the home moves into the modern era with some clever enhancements including hydronic heating, a renovated kitchen, butler's pantry, and laundry with gorgeous grey subway tiles, and new paintwork. The result is a light-filled family home that draws on its north facing aspect, in a single level setting that perfectly blends old world charm with modern shine. A spectacular open plan living room is distinguished by dramatic ceilings and a romantic gas log fireplace, spotlighted by a top tier kitchen featuring induction cook top, Smeg oven and grill and a versatile butler's pantry for cooking prep or as a breakfast station. Bedrooms are positioned in a separate wing with a master suite serving as the ultimate retreat for parents - rich in light through the bay window, with its own dressing room and full ensuite. The family bathroom impresses with a screened shower over the spa bath, and an iconic pedestal vanity. Outside, the home harks back to its farmhouse history with an oversized triple garage with its own bar and toilet, plus a huge shed for extra car/trailer, a storage room close to the entrance suited as a home office or fitness studio and a flat grassed area behind screening trees and private picket fencing. Set on a north-east facing 810sqms (approx.) corner close to Parkmore Primary, Emmaus College and the new ngarrak nakorang wilam park connecting to Bellbird Dell, this exclusive property comes to market for the first time in 20 years, ready to invite the next lucky family into its warm embrace as one of the district's landmark addresses, once home to 38 acres of apples, pears, cherries, apricots, and plums, and now fertile with family.
