A surprise floorplan detail in a Victorian home is both stylish and functional.
The contemporary three-bedroom, two-bathroom property at 33 Ochiltree Court in Romsey has a spacious layout thanks to a walkway that connects the sleeping zones.
There is nothing ordinary about the home, which sold for an undisclosed sum on January 16, after a campaign on the books of Rhys Nuttall and Lynne Payne of Bound Real Estate. The luxury property had a price guide of $2.2 million to $2.4 million.
With the idyllic Macedon Ranges as its backdrop, listing photos reveal a glass-encased walkway that leads to the private guest wing and separate retreat.

The north wing contains the master suite, study and living zone that leads to an outdoor entertainer’s deck.
Considered the “heart” of the home is the kitchen with its sleek black cabinetry and gold accents.

As stated on the listing, the vendors love the home’s privacy, surrounding landscape and floorplan.
“The stunning design of the home allows the main living wing to be as intimate or spacious as you need,” they say.
