21 Mabel Crescent, Mount MacedonVIC

Welcome to ‘Lothlórien’, a beguiling multileveled architect designed home on Mount Macedon. Recently comprehensively renovated, this stunning property is ready to move into and enjoy.

The owner’s brief was for an asymmetrical design, being unique from each elevation, yet beneath one roof, integrating the carport and shed. The many windows maximise natural light and sun throughout the day, whilst simultaneously capturing distant views and tranquil garden vistas.

Internally, design elements incorporate many practical and innovative features, demonstrating an intriguing yet efficient use of space. Examples such as stylishly recessed shelves and cupboard for discreetly accommodating landline, routers and modems; fully secreted, insulated cellar/store-room; recessed illuminated mirrored bathroom cabinets which minimise fogging; concealed, safe heating in bathrooms. Plentiful power-points keep lamp lovers and technofiles happy.

Creative and quirky features enhance and delight, providing colourful details in an otherwise neutral décor. Tiled friezes and murals hand-glazed by the artist owner adorn the bathrooms, powder and dressing room, whilst the kitchen incorporates original feature tiles hand-glazed by fellow artists and friends. Whimsical Trompe l’oeil murals bring doors to life, adding unique, creative touches.
Ample storage is always sought after and this property has abundant options including walk-in-pantry, under-stair cupboard, cellar, fully-fitted built-in-robes and dressing room, 2 linen cupboards plus the bonus of generous attic storage.

Younger generations were a major consideration in the design and features. Children and adolescents will adore their roomy accommodation, enjoying their additional bedroom mezzanine levels, ideal for imaginative play, games, study, reading, music practice or sleeping accommodation. Two of the bedroom mezzanines even connect via a secret, Narnia-like wardrobe! The height of the ceilings upstairs made these mezzanines possible, yet bedrooms 1 & 4 enjoy the spacious ambience of 17’ raked ceilings.

The large carport includes covered wood storage and below, under the continuation of the roofline, sits the integrated powered shed. Extensive paving encircles the house, surrounded by a variety of professionally landscaped terraced garden areas. Externally, there are sheltered nooks to enjoy relaxing morning coffees, lunch and afternoon teas, evening drinks and bbq dinners.

Steps graciously curve down around the large ivy covered 20,000lt water tank, which captures all rainfall from the pitched roof. On the lower bushland section sits what is affectionately termed 'The Whim'. This enchanting, rustic structure makes an ideal studio, cubby or quiet retreat.

Conveniently situated within walking distance to the village plus public and private secondary school buses stop 400m at the end of the road, making this an ideal family property.

If you're seeking a truly unique, imaginative yet practical family-friendly, idyllic environment, far removed from the cookie-cutter boxes typifying urban sprawl, then look no further.
