31 The Grange, Templestowe VIC 3106

A graceful position on the high side of the road, an enviable location minutes from a host of lifestyle options and a spacious, flowing floorplan heightened by Cathedral ceilings combine to present a unique living experience.

Steeped in history, this rare property, which occupies a sizeable 927sqm (approx.) allotment, is also positioned to enjoy a rewarding future, given the scope to develop in one of Templestowe's most desired pockets (STCA).

With such a generous land size, there's merit in taking advantage of the property's elevated nature by building a substantial-sized two-storey family home with views across Ruffey Lake Park (STCA). The smart developer, however, will be keen to construct a pair of modern Townhouses (STCA) within easy reach of St Charles Borromeo Catholic Primary School, Serpell Primary School, Westfield Shoppingtown, bus transport, Ruffey Lake Park and the Eastern Freeway.

The existing residence offers scope for modernisation yet boasts an extraordinary interior truly unique to itself and will be treasured by anyone who's lucky enough to call this place home. Cedar feature walls, solid Oregon timber doors and timber benchtops to the Master ensuite, family bathroom and central kitchen (with walk-in pantry and quality appliances) produce strong earthy and natural notes, while a rendered exterior evokes the charm of a Tuscan villa.

Keep warm and snug this winter in front of the open fireplace of the split-level lounge/dining arrangement, and once the mercury begins to rise again, gather friends and family together to enjoy an outstanding outdoor entertaining set-up comprising an in-ground swimming pool plus covered alfresco.

Space and comfort are features enjoyed by the comfortable bedrooms; parents, meanwhile, will appreciate the privacy associated with the Master bedroom, which is zoned at the front of the home, away from the three additional bedrooms.

Split-system heating and cooling, hydronic heating, large grassed yard for child's play and ample off-street parking adds further appeal to this amazing residence.
