Offers Close Tue, 2nd Sep – 1pm (usp)

In a world where new builds and sub-divisions try to take hold, this proud piece of Lower Mitcham’s past emerges to remind us that some things are worth preserving.

Like the treasure it is, this C1860 home on some 1440 sprawling square metres hides in plain sight, tightly held by generations of the one family since 1957.

The neighbouring stone building is a daily reminder this far-reaching homestead once sat within the folds of a winery – long before Lower Mitcham became a leafy suburban pause within easy reach of sea and city.

Set far back from the street, the front gardens read like your own botanic park – the backdrop to long lunches under the return eyelash verandah of this 4-bedroom/1-study home.

Thick walls, heavenly high ceilings, light-grabbing sash windows, prominent architraves, open fireplaces and polished Baltic pine floors define this stone-built home with one stately room after another and an underground cellar for good measure.

Its flexible plan is only enhanced by a stylishly sympathetic rear extension, adding a light-filled family room to a mix of formal and casual spaces.

A bay window gives the formal lounge a glorious afternoon glow. The central kitchen is a workhorse with deep cabinetry, Miele dishwasher and a 900mm freestanding Blanco oven.

For all of its old-world charm, the likes of its secure carport, powered garage and copious storage make it very much a home made for now.

The current owners consider themselves custodians of something truly special. It’s your story to write from here.

And here couldn’t be better placed, just a moment from Mitcham Square and cinema, Scotch College, Brown Hill’s trails and public transport on speed dial.
