Country-style living so close to the city is the dream of many and an attainable reality here by the Yarra River's 46-hectare Banyule Flats Reserve with this architect-designed residence on an expansive 1102m2 allotment (approx). Directly adjoining one of Melbourne's most beautiful natural environs with its diverse ecosystem and the Main Yarra Trail, this immaculate architect designed modernist home c1968 opens to a broad stretch of established garden, a serene park-side ambience and sweeping uninterrupted views over the native greenery and wetlands. Experience a completely relaxing lifestyle in an inspirational setting of absolute seclusion with this highly sought-after sanctuary where a garden-set clinker brick façade reveals the spacious split-level design of a light-filled interior framed by timber-beamed ceilings and large view-capturing windows. The perfectly zoned layout features a sizable home office/study with a tranquil parkland outlook and impressively proportioned accommodation of three bright bedrooms where two include built-in robes while the large main offers a walk-in robe and a smart private ensuite. Central is a pristine family bathroom (separate bathtub plus a shower), before a substantial living room including a drinks bar and a cast-iron wood heater, a modern kitchen with a stainless-steel stove and dishwasher, and a family/dining area that all flow seamlessly out to an extensive undercover entertainment deck. Also includes a laundry area, wine storage, ducted heating/cooling, ceiling fans, significant under-house storage, a children's cubby and a double garage with adjoining workshop. Kangaroos, kookaburras and trees as far as the eye can see are literally at the doorstep of this remarkably rare property offering a once-in-a-generation family opportunity zoned to Banyule Primary School and Viewbank College. Private and quiet, this unique lifestyle home beside river parkland is superbly located only minutes to Heidelberg's Burgundy Street precinct with its fabulous cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, train stations, the Austin/ Mercy Hospitals and LaTrobe University.
