Property Description:
A signature charm of this comfortable home, on the outskirts of Healesville, is the idyllic vista that lies just across the road. Along the north-facing verandah, the large windows of the lounge, bedrooms and massage room take in the tranquil scene of a beautiful lake surrounded by pasture and framed by trees. In the middle distance, the landscape changes to forest clad hills that are part of the Maroondah Reservoir Park.
The timber house nestles in a garden of deciduous trees and large shrubs where birds frolic throughout the day. The peaceful setting is matched with an interior of cosiness, simply and tastefully decorated. The main rooms have polished floors with scattered woollen rugs. Natural timber is used repeatedly in the architraves, the beams of the living room's cathedral ceiling, timber venetians in the bedrooms and furniture such as the country style dining suite. The micro suede couches also use earthy, natural tones and there are many pieces of pottery, from a nearby gallery, displayed throughout the house. A Tongan floor mat makes an unusual wall decoration inside the front door. A slow combustion wood fire adds to the cosy atmosphere.
