410 Mount Dandenong Tourist Road, Sassafras, VIC, 3787, Australia

This immaculately maintained and unique home plus studio is nestled in the stunning surrounds of Sassafras upon almost ¾ of an acre of grand established gardens, just a short walk to the village. Architecture and interior finishings are synonymous with the Arts and Crafts movement of the mid 19th century driven by legendary designer William Morris. External references acknowledge the strong influence of architect Frank Lloyd Wright, to the form and colours of the exterior. This home breathes warmth, cosiness and expansive options for various living situations.

You are welcomed by stone pillars to the entry hall, through to a welcoming, carpeted lounge with fireplace and bay window. The home flows over Baltic pine floorboards to kitchen and meals area, with extensive cabinetry, island bench, 90cm Lofra freestanding cooker, Beko dishwasher and skylights. Continuing through, there is a second living area fit for dining as well, with ceiling to floor windows. The large master bedroom has expansive built-in robes, and the study / second bedroom is fully equipped with shelving and desk. A bathroom with shower and toilet services this level. Two balconies, east and west, provide sitting space to watch over the garden.

Downstairs, a third living area, and library with circa 3000 book capacity, provides space for the two bedrooms and bathroom. The laundry has plenty of shelving, and the cellar can provide further storage. A large deck through French doors is perfect for entertaining in summer. Large windows throughout provide that sought after inside/outside feel so you can witness the seasons change. Various embellishments throughout the home provide interest, such as stained, beveled lead light windows, door handles and the glazed fireplace façade in the second bathroom.

The home is heated with gas ducted heating and the fireplace, and a 7 solar panel array is run by a 3.5w inverter. Environmental efficiency has been considered, with draft proofing including exhaust fans seals, water saving shower heads and energy saving lights being recently installed.
