'Carrama' - A Stunning Haven

Designed by renowned architects 'Meldrum and Noad' in 1941 to amalgamate beautifully with magnificent gardens planted earlier in the century as a 'country retreat', this Early Colonial residence was created to provide a tranquil and vista-infused haven where the 2583m2 of verdant gardens were the focal point and the house masterfully conceived to fully appreciate the leafy loveliness from every aspect.

Featured in the 1942 May edition of 'Australian Home Beautiful', the brick-and-weatherboard dwelling was described as being enfolded 'in a sylvan peace secure from any intrusion from the outside world' and still retains this secluded sanctity to this day, while situated a mere five-minute drive from Ringwood's superior amenities delivering exceptional convenience and the best of both worlds.

This is a nature-loving family's paradise, nestled serenely amongst the stunning surroundings of a variety of perennials, roses, camellias, magnolias, azaleas and meticulously manicured box hedging, with weeping cherry's, Japanese Maple trees, and pedestal coach lamps lighting elegantly at night, as well as a free-form swimming pool and panoramic views to the Dandenong Ranges.

Inside, the residence boasts an extensive list of admirable and timelessly charming appointments, high-end finishes and fittings plus modern comforts and a flowing floorplan of exceedingly generous proportions extended to deliver ultimate family enjoyment and harmony, with original casement and sash windows with retractable screens, ten-foot ceilings, wide hallways and an exquisite decor; the genteel elegance is captivating.

Functionality is also a desirable benefit of the grandly appointed layout encompassing both parents and children's wings allowing for ultimate privacy, and a myriad of access points from the gardens. The original section of the home comprises a grand formal lounge boasting an ambient open fireplace and French external doors, the luxurious master featuring a sparkling chandelier, twin walk-in robes and a luxury full ensuite showcasing gorgeous Marble tiling and a dual vanity, plus oversized shower and separate bathtub; along with a bespoke study with gas log fireplace, and a private sitting room, nursery or seventh bedroom.

A central kitchen overlooks a pretty courtyard garden and is fitted with Granite countertops, an enviable amount of storage including overhead pot rack, and quality appliances including a stainless-steel Miele oven and dishwasher, integrating efficiently with the formal dining room and a casual meals space with garden access.

A vast rumpus adds even further appeal with its rich polished floorboards and French doors opening to the undercover entertainer's veranda, accessing the additional four, six fantastically sized bedrooms all benefitting from fitted built-in robes and sharing the family-sized bathroom with dual vanity and oversized shower, plus a third toilet in powder room.

Further notable highlights include; ducted and hydronic heating, two evaporative cooling units, two hot water systems, 100% wool carpet, an abundance of storage, impressive window furnishings including premium ' Luxaflex' blinds, a large fitted laundry, shed and gardening equipment storage, healthy boxed veggie gardens, a cute gazebo,
ornate wrought-iron gates sourced from an old Melbourne Hotel, fruit-bearing Kaffir Lime, lemon, orange, lime and fig trees, automatic watering pumped from 26,000lt water tanks, caravan/boat parking bay, plentiful off-street parking and two garages. The substantial 2583sqm (approx.) allotment is also zoned for potential development and with dual access from Wonga and Warrandyte roads it provides savvy investors/developers with superior multi-residential prospects (STCA).

Walk to Holy Spirit Primary and North Ringwood shopping precinct, Norwood Secondary, parklands and walking trails, with easy access to Eastland Shopping Centre, EastLink freeway, prestigious schooling (Tintern, Aquinas, Ringwood secondary and Yarra Valley Grammar), the Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges National Park.
