“Bindaree”

Kaye Charles Real Estate are proud to present to market "Bindaree", one of the regions most iconic properties where time almost stands still. The home enjoys a unique vantage point of vistas over the calming waters of Cardinia all the way to Arthur's Seat in the Mornington Peninsula and French Island in Western Port Bay. The home has grown to equal the magnificence of its situation. From a modest 1930’s Art Deco cottage it has evolved into a showstopper crowned with a landmark turret. This is a home that will be at the heart of your family for generations.

Sheltered by tall trees and established gardens creates an outlook for all seasons. Past the 1930’s fretwork on the porch, the entrance hall with pressed tin roof prepares you for an array of original features that have been well preserved. The master suite is serviced by walk in wardrobes, separate toilet and stately bath and shower to en suite. A cosy lounge is complete with a fireplace featuring rose blush deco tiles and bay windows looking out across the blossoms.

The lynchpin of the house is the kitchen, renovated in white subway tiles and Victorian ash benches. The cupboards have handles of brass; a motif that is echoed throughout the house. The stainless-steel appliances have been installed to host on a vast scale with a 6 burner gas stove, a double oven and double drawer dishwasher. From here you can serve dinner in the beautiful wood panelled dining room, which has been enhanced with antique white paint or take the party out to the veranda where you can soak up the magnificent sunsets. The veranda, dining room, and kitchen all enjoy the outlook to great effect but it is in the family room encompassing picture windows and automatic blinds that offer the most phenomenal vantage point.

The unique features continue downstairs where you find a mud room, 3 bedrooms with walk in robes, and a sunroom that opens out to a private courtyard drenched with sun. The bathroom and laundry on this level are new, crisp and white. Comfort is assured with ducted heating, evaporative cooling and a split system. The under veranda has been utilised as a hanging garden with terracotta tiles running the length of the house enclosed by a hedge of Sasanqua Camellia. The garage has room for two cars plus ample room for all the toys.

The mature orchard in the rear garden includes; fig, apple, mandarins, grapefruit, tangelo, lime, lemon, guava, quince, oranges, plum, peaches and pomegranate. The property also enjoys a fully fenced vegetable garden and 22,000 litres of tank water. An olive arbour leads to the picturesque pergola and overlooks the croquet lawn.

This magical near two-acre property is a staging post for life's great moments all within minutes to Emerald Village, schooling and public transport.

An inspection is a must to truly appreciate all that this spectacular property has to offer.
