10 Old Coonara Road, Olinda, VIC 3788

Peacefully poised in one of the Range?s most prestigious cul-de-sacs, this charming 1920s classic brimming with old-world beauty and contemporary comforts is now looking for her new custodians to honour her past and preserve her future. This century old property is wrapped by almost ? of an acre of traditional and English style gardens imbued with a ?ne and rare selection of flora that simply cannot be replicated without time and essence. Breathtaking in their grandeur, the new owners of ?Stardust? will look forward to daily tendering, meandering and quiet contemplation among mother nature?s splendour.

With such a compelling canvas, this elegant home of grand style and distinction perfectly complements its setting with a wonderful indoor/outdoor flow and garden glances from every room. Timeless original architectural features such as French doors, picture windows, parquetry floors (entrance hall and study) and art deco ceilings echo stories from the past and create enchantment at every turn.

Heralded by a lavish living/dining domain helmed by a spectacular gas log fireplace featuring a richly decorated carved wooden surround, this family heart symbolises the warmth and comfort of a classically designed residence where all the rooms are of impressive size. A set of double French doors spill to an enclosed patio with caf? blinds for all-season entertaining or hosting the extended family on Christmas Day.

A separately zoned country-style kitchen will inspire home chefs with well-lit diamond leadlight cabinetry, island bench and stainless-steel appliances including a new 900mm SMEG upright cooker. Flowing from here, a covered deck with electric blinds is the perfect spot to watch the changing skies at sunset with your favourite brew.

Parent?s will be drawn to the master bedroom with walk-in robe and fully tiled ensuite, whilst a second bedroom of size also features a lavish walk-in robe and window seat. Both these rooms have dual-aspect windows that frame picture-perfect garden views. Bedroom 3 is so spacious it could also be utilised as a second living area, or with its separate access via the study with built-in desk, the perfect set-up for teenagers or adult children who come and go. Bedroom 4 is sequestered in its own wing and has space for a study nook and views of the twinkling urban lights, whilst yesteryear charm is celebrated in the family bathroom gleaming with a gold monsoon shower over a claw foot bath and heritage tiles.

Perfectly manicured hedges, and meandering pathways dot the flat allotment creating ?garden rooms? that will spark joy among green thumbs and creates a magical setting to raise a family. Off the deck facing west, a paved area flows to a lush patch of lawn where you can enjoy homegrown from the veggie patch. Through a gate is where garden glory begins with a quaint cubby house that could be repurposed for chooks, a firepit zone to enjoy late night chats under starry skies and your very own avocado tree for fresh guacamole.

A kaleidoscope of established flora and lush foliage includes a rhododendron walk, Japanese camellias, evergreen azaleas, clivias, lily of the valley, roses, Mediterranean spurge, vibrant red pontic rhododendrons, Japanese cherry, towering tree ferns, fragrant daphne and a magnificent waratah. Of note, a circa 1890 gate at the northern corner imported from Glasgow-based foundry company W MacFarlane & Co. framed by bricks from Ordish Fire Brick Co, a magnificently recommissioned fountain that is the golden centrepiece of the garden and a grand copper beech tree that creates a rich canopy come spring. You also have an amphitheatre style space with an arbor where you can picnic in privacy, host a modern-day soiree or simply soak up the serenity accompanied by black cockatoos and king parrots.

Its privileged setting is situated within a thriving peaceful community, poised conveniently between Olinda and Monbulk and an easy stroll to renowned Cloudehill. It?s also a short drive from an amazing array of world-renowned tourist attractions. Don?t delay. Enquire today.
