A Privilege & A Pleasure Overlooking River Wetlands

SOLD by Miles Real Estate. Sweeping uninterrupted views directly over the scenic Banyule Flats by the Yarra River is one of Melbourne's most serene outlooks commanded by this elevated architect-designed residence c1966 on a 618m2 allotment (approx). A natural wetlands reserve teeming with birdlife and lazing kangaroos where the Main Yarra Trail is only metres away creates the most beautiful east-facing backdrop to a relaxing lifestyle that will be yours to savour in the Viewbank College and Banyule Primary School zones. Offered for the first time in 35-years, this largely original residence in the modernist architectural style revolves around a central garden courtyard offering three sizeable bedrooms (main with WIR, ensuite plus versatile study/nursery; two with built-in robes and desks) and a sky-lit central bathroom. Picking up the magnificent views, the split-level interior extends to an open-plan living room (open fireplace), a casual dining area and an updated kitchen (Bosch induction cooktop, ASKO dishwasher, walk-in pantry) with dual sliding doors opening to a wide undercover entertainment terrace and leafy established rear garden. Further is a separate laundry while externally accessed are a flexible two-room rumpus, studio/office or retreat with a wood heater and a huge workshop with a bathroom. Other attributes include ducted heating, split-system air-conditioning, and a double carport. Comfortably appointed with rare potential to create a luxurious family sanctuary perched above the parkland (STCA), this tightly held home is enviably located and only a few minutes from Heidelberg's Burgundy Street precinct including cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, train station and the Austin and Mercy Hospitals.
