65-67 Mount Street

The majesty of mountain views, a prestigious Eaglemont address and an elevated 2,355m2 setting (approx) of botanical garden beauty enhance the grandeur and grace of this magnificent Federation residence offered for the first time in 47-years. 'Eothen' c1901 reflects the confidence and prosperity of a significant period in Australia's history with its light-filled proportions, soaring ceilings, refined craftsmanship and sweeping vistas creating a family home of enduring presence, richly-detailed comfort and a remarkable connection to its surrounding landscape. Arrival through leafy established gardens to a grand tuckpointed brick façade is suitably impressive where a security porch opens to an elegant reception hallway, before revealing a glorious bay- window dining room with a marble open fireplace and a sunlit sitting room with a wood heater and dual French doors to a terrace. The ground-floor layout unfolds to include three sizable bedrooms - one with a fitted desk and shelving, a substantial second with gas fireplace and built-in book storage, and a third or study with built-in robes opening directly to the rear garden. A family bathroom showcasing marble finishes, a frameless oversized shower and twin vanity, precedes a bright family living room (open fireplace) that extends to a broad covered veranda that's ideal for relaxing amongst tranquil, east-facing garden greenery. Two additional first-floor bedrooms with walk-in/built-in robes and bay window seats, along with a sky-lit second bathroom, are superbly complemented by a large, light and versatile lounge/library with a wet bar (sink, fridge), extensive book shelving, three large bay windows, two with seats and storage, and panoramic views to the ranges. A spacious kitchen and meals area lined with marble benchtops is appointed with quality appliances including a Neff oven, dual-fuel cooktop and an ASKO dishwasher, while just outside for easy entertaining is an undercover alfresco terrace bathing in sunshine. The expansive rear garden defined by pockets of serenity amid mature plantings is pure enchantment including a BBQ area, enclosed vegetable garden, fruit trees and a series of outbuildings with sheds, a workshop and an external toilet, along with rear sealed-lane ROW access to a remote-control double garage and gated parking space. Other attributes include a laundry, ducted heating, evaporative cooling, polished Baltic pine floorboards, antique light fittings, a sub-floor wine cellar, rainwater tanks and garden irrigation. Illustrious 'Eothen' is a distinguished and cherished family home in a vast garden setting that presents a once-in-a-generation landmark opportunity at the upper echelon of exclusive blue-ribbon Eaglemont. Enviably located for an eminently convenient lifestyle close to primary and grammar schools, Eaglemont Village cafes and train station, boutique Ivanhoe shopping, the Burgundy Street precinct, Austin Hospital, and Albert Jones Reserve.
