This unique, split-level mud-brick and timber home certainly offers something different, and is waiting for the right family to come and put their mark on it!

On the high side and set back from the road, the original timber section of the residence accommodates a bathroom, laundry, large pantry and two spacious bedrooms, all lined with original pine flooring. Enjoy the pleasant treed front-yard visible through the generous bedroom windows, or look beyond to the peaks of Mount Dandenong. Then, wander over to your rustic kitchen, with wooden bench-tops and spectacular lead-light bay window, looking out at the birds flittering amongst the cherry plums… But don’t day-dream too much as you prepare your dinner; that five-burner stove and full-size gas oven certainly deserve your attention!

As you potter around in your kitchen, converse over the breakfast bar with friends and family in the adjoining open plan dining room and lounge area, where it is easy to keep an eye on the kids. You’ll feel right at home in this mud-brick wing of the home, with exposed mud-brick walls and warm timber surrounds, where the genuine lead-light front door completes the cosy cottage feel. After dinner, recline in front of the Rinnai space heater on a cold winter’s night. A cork-tiled passageway leads to the other two bedrooms on the upper level – wake up and gaze at the cedar cathedral ceilings and the majestic Eucalypts and ferns outside.

With a fifth of an acre to play around with, there’s plenty of space to make this home into whatever you want. The established garden surrounds the home on all sides with a generous set-back from the fence-line and adjacent properties. It’s got three driveway entrances, two off a private road, with numerous established trees and shrubs. In short, this home is in keeping with the back-to-nature disposition of Warranwood – will you be the one to take on the challenge of bringing it to its full potential?
