Warrandyte 43 Kangaroo Ground-Warrandyte Road

Featured in architectural magazines of its time, the original home is a unique and artistic 3 bedroom house with treetop views all the way to the Dandenong Ranges. The near new second dwelling, built in the shape of two adjoining hexagons, has been lovingly designed as an eco-friendly, 2 bedroom home. The nearby studio offers flexibility as a home office, workshop, artist's space or teenage retreat.

The original home features an open plan living area with updated kitchen/meals area overlooking a cottage garden, separate lounge, sitting room and three large bedrooms. A substantial deck off the living area provides a beautiful compliment to the original hardwood-lined lounge area. Outside there are flat spaces for kids to play including the original badminton court, cubby house and a built-in barbeque. A large workshop with shower provides a welcome a spacious retreat for the home handy-person.

The double-hexagon home offers a spacious and airy kitchen and living area stepping out to a wraparound veranda overlooking the gently sloping native garden. Clever use of space includes a combined bathroom/laundry along with under-house workshop and plenty of storage, and the home features double glazing and has a 5 star energy rating.

Plenty of effort and love have gone into making this an eco-friendly, self maintaining property with non-toxic materials used in both dwellings and the studio. Solar panels on the main house (with sell-back to the grid) supply power to both homes and the studio, and there are 20,000 litres of rainwater storage and an eco-efficient grey water reed-bed system which automatically recycles the filtered water to the extensive vegetable and herb gardens, landscaped areas and orchard. Birds and wildlife abound the property.

The landscaped gardens include a wide variety of native and ornamental flowering shrubs and trees, roses, climbing and flowering plants.

This is an ideal property for sharing with grandparents, family or friends, or would also be perfectly suited for use as a home business (such as holistic therapy or yoga studio) or as a rental property - highly sought after in Warrandyte.

All of this just a short walk to the Yarra River and walking/running trails, Warrandyte shopping and cultural precinct, sporting facilities, cafes, schools and monthly market.
