Haidee' - A Family Home of Historical Beauty
Created in 1940
by internationally-acclaimed architects Yuncken Freeman (one of the last
homes to be built by the firm until after the culmination of World War
II from which they went on to design the iconic Sidney Myer Music Bowl)
this captivating manor was envisioned by a father for his beloved
daughter, and who the home is named after. The original design has been
slightly altered over the years to suit a family's needs, while being
superbly maintained and beautifully updated; and ultimately delivering a
magnificent residence of immense and timeless appeal.
Delightfully
residing in the notably prestigious and picturesque Golf Links Estate,
this solidly crafted home boasts a seemingly endless list of exquisite
features, from the impressively high ceilings to the richly toned,
kiln-dried solid hardwood flooring gracing the traditionally zoned
living areas. Imagine gathering around a roaring open fireplace in the
glorious, generously proportioned living room, or enjoying dinner
parties in the adjoining formal dining area, a joy to cater to in the
charming kitchen. Enjoying a country-style ambience, the chef's domain
is magnificently appointed with solid timber surfaces, an abundance of
cabinetry, dishwasher and enviable De Dietrich European stainless-steel
appliances including 900mm gas cooktop and range hood, an electric
fan-forced oven and convection oven.
From what was once the
verandah, picture Sunday afternoons lazing in the vista-infused, sun
kissed conservatory, or fling back the timber bi-folding doors to the
elevated deck and sunny, paved patio, abounded by a verdant array of
greenery and providing a stunning setting for entertaining. Beautifully
cultivated 'Edna Walling' inspired gardens, dotted with secretive nooks
and tranquil hideaways with pathways meandering around large expanses of
lawn, create a joyful place for children to play, and for all to
explore.
Accommodating the residents of the home, a flexible
layout offers: a deluxe master bedroom situated on the uppermost floor
with slanted vaulted ceilings, lavishly complemented with a private
sitting nook, mosaic open fireplace and Juliet balcony, a sublime en
suite with modern fittings and stone vanity, and either a separate study
with built-in desk or second bedroom with walk-in robe; all three areas
boasting dormer windows framing superlative and uninterrupted views to
the Dandenong Ranges. A further two bedrooms, positioned on the first
level, enhanced with polished floorboards and built-in robes, share a
classic family bathroom, while, on the ground floor (accessed via three
separate entries), a fourth bedroom with walk-in robe enjoys its own en
suite and a large theatre room (also ground floor) could be utilised as a
sixth bedroom with walk-in storage/robe.
Further highlights of
this gracious home include; a veritable array of fruit trees including
lemon, apple, pear, plum, quince and walnut, gas ducted heating and
air-conditioning, ducted vacuum, huge laundry with vintage tiling,
two-way wood box in living area, a massive entry foyer with exposed
