A Hidden Applecross Gem
Designed and built for the original owners, the architect's brief was to provide a functional and spacious home, with room for a young family to grow, with a home business studio and room for everyone to enjoy their own space.
The perfect layout on paper turned into a family home that was central to many extended family and friends' gatherings. The large open plan living area expanded again through the opened bi-fold doors onto the alfresco and pool area which hosted plenty of dancing and drinks, whilst the kids and their friends enjoyed the theatre room or activity room upstairs.
The lounge, family room or alfresco were all family favourites for enjoying the warming winter sun and the heated lap and plunge pool were continually used all year round.
The garden was the setting for many games of backyard cricket, plus the park across the road and the pool kept the kids entertained for many years. The owners have loved watching the home they designed for their children easily accommodate young adults and their friends as they grew up. It really is a home to make memories in.
This home offers flexibility for an Au pair or grandparents to have their own downstairs bedroom, bathroom, living area and separate entrance or as a home salon/studio.
The home is situated at The Strand end of Jacaranda-lined Matheson Road and is close to the Applecross foreshore, as well as Heathcote Reserve with its amazing pirate ship playground, cafe and weekend market. An easy 5 minutes' walk puts you at the Applecross Village with cafes and restaurants, boutiques, hairdresser, newsagency, butchers and medical services.
If you want a functional, cleverly designed home with more living space and storage than you think you probably need, with the added benefit of living so close to the river in coveted Applecross with all its amenities, then come and walk through 130 Matheson Road and picture your own family growing up in this perfect home.
