21 The Ridge

Inspiring a plethora of blue-chip development possibilities (STCA) this rare two-acre landholding in an exclusive, Mount Eliza neighbourhood will captivate with its architecturally rich 60-year-old generational home and charming garden studio, positioned towards the front of sprawling park-like grounds with an elevated north-westerly aspect. On the market for the first time since its mid-century construction, the unique, architect-designed brick and timber residence retains its circa 1960s character and will delight with its classic features including soaring straw-lined ceilings, timber panelled walls, and cork flooring. Designed as a family holiday retreat, the expansive living and entertaining areas extend over three split levels to harmonise with its tranquil bushland environment. Large format windows provide connectivity to the verdant surrounds, and a central wood fireplace surrounded by exposed brickwork chimney adds to the rustic ambience. The well-equipped galley-style kitchen incorporates an original fireplace and there is plenty of space and amenity for multi-generational family gatherings or guest hosting with three bedrooms and two bathrooms including a zoned master with shower ensuite, a large multi-bed 'bunk room', plus the separate studio/bungalow with shower ensuite. Additional features include split system heating/cooling, and a CCTV security alarm system. Positioned on 8,465sqm*, with three driveway entrances, a semi-circular paved driveway and an abundance of off-street parking, the home is neighboured by some outstanding luxury residential developments, providing inspiration for this much-cherished family property's future. On a tranquil low-traffic road, this idyllic Mont Eliza locale bordered by natural bushland reserves is close to Peninsula Grammar and Mount Eliza Primary School, and is just minutes to Mount Eliza Village, Toorak College, and a choice of beaches. *Approximate land size.
