Croydon North 18 Mulgrave Way

This generous 4 bedroom two-storey home is uniquely situated at the top of a ridge which affords views from Mount Macedon to Warburton to Mount Dandenong, taking in the wide sweep of all the ranges in between as well as the Yarra Valley. The architect's brief was to position the house and every window to either capitalise on these views, or to draw in the bushland which borders the block on two sides. The result is a very private house, full of light, overlooking the tree-tops and embedded in nature.

The house sits on a ridge-top level bush block. The garden and the Mulgrave Way Reserve host 125 indigenous plant species, which attract the sounds and sights of of native birds, as well as occasional visits from echidnas and kangaroos. In Spring, the block and reserve are filled with native orchids, lilies and daisies.

The ground floor comprises three generous bedrooms including master with en-suite, which sleep cooler in summer and warmer in the winter. The ground floor is completed with bathroom, WC, glass-roofed laundry and entrance area - all built to generous proportions and with high ceilings. High windows in the bathrooms provide bushland views while maintaining privacy.

The stylish staircase leads to the spacious living areas, comprising kitchen, family room, living room, dining room all of which boast the spectacular views which change by the day and hour depending on the season, the weather and the cast of light. By day experience every sunrise and sunset, and by night the twinkling lights in the valleys below. Balconies to the east and west allow family life to easily flow into the outdoors. A separate office area or retreat, a powder room, and a large fourth bedroom with story-book ceilings complete the upper floor.

The self-cleaning heated swim spa is surrounded by a timber deck and lush low maintenance gardens and enables year-round swimming from the privacy and convenience of your own home.

This home is in a premier position only a short distance from McAdam Square, Croydon and Chirnside Park Shopping Centres, Yarra Valley Grammar School, Luther College, Melbourne Rudolf Steiner School, Croydon Hills and Yarra Road Primary Schools, and Yarrunga Community Centre.
