Mount Macedon
"Merrindal"
Surrounded by established low maintenance garden, "Merrindal" is a substantial family home in a prime location on Mount Macedon.
Set on approx. an acre of elevated land, this large 4-bedroom home offers multiple living and entertaining zones, both inside and out, in a spectacular natural setting.
At the end of the tree-lined driveway, the house is entered from an elegant stone paved entrance. The foyer is well-proportioned and welcoming. The adjoining sitting room is spacious and has extensive built-in bookshelves and windows overlooking the front garden. Separated from the main living zones, this is a perfect space for quiet reading, music or conversation.
A staircase in the foyer leads up to the main living spaces which look out to garden views in all directions. The kitchen and meals area sits at the heart of the home and the built-in window seat makes this an even more inviting place to spend time. There is also a walk- in pantry, double ovens and extensive bench space. The adjoining sitting area has a wood fire place, polished timber floors and double doors opening onto the large outdoor entertaining area with extensive decking, vine-covered pergola and views of the lawn and garden beyond. The separate dining room and formal lounge room on this level also enjoy a connection to the deck and garden which surround the home.
All 4 bedrooms are on this level, with three at one end of the home close to the main family bathroom, laundry, powder room and mudroom, and the luxurious master bedroom at the other. In addition to having built-in window seats, robes and a spacious ensuite, the master bedroom also opens out to a private verandah.
Separate from the main house but easily accessible from the outdoor entertaining area is a fantastic space that could be used for any number of purposes: home cinema and rumpus room, home office or studio, or another large entertaining area with spectacular views of the surrounding trees.
Outside, in addition to the established garden and lawn areas serviced by bore water and an extensive irrigation system, there is a double garage with storage room, ample under-house storage and wine cellar, and two water tanks.
“Merrindal” is a short walk to the Mount Macedon pub, Trading Post café and school, and easily accessible to the Calder Freeway which will have you at the Melbourne Airport in under 40 minutes, and Melbourne CBD is less than an hour.
