06.01.2022 This home is situated on 6 acres of steep woodland in Melbournes north-east. A major renovation of the 1970s house was completed in 2019, involving alterations to the existing single story dwelling, together with the construction of second story additions. The property is in a bushfire zone and is off the water, sewer and gas grid.
