Agent, Aaron Yeats, told SCHWARTZWILLIAMS, "This home has been built with the passion that Italians are famous for. The vendors, who were born in Italy, hand selected all of the materials themselves after spending many months in Tuscany with one purpose in mind. To ensure their dream home was completed to the highest of standards. 

"The home is an exact replica, and a modern take on the architecture you see in Tuscany. Details such as marble window sills, the finest oak joinery and windows, porcelain floors, copper gutters and down pipes, and soaring high ceilings have not been lost in the creation of this masterpiece."

There are three large bedrooms, the main with walk-in robe and ensuite, and a fourth bedroom or study. Also inside are formal lounge and dining areas as well as an informal living zone. A kitchen with granite bench tops, European appliances, walk-in pantry, and oak joinery flow to the meals, family and alfresco entertaining areas. 

Downstairs is a multi-purpose room that can be used as a theatre, a large home office or self-contained accommodation, as well as a double garage with storage room, cellar, and workshop. 

Outside, the gardens are about one-and-a-half acres of fruit trees, a vegetable garden, landscaped gardens, and an olive grove, all fed by tank water and a reticulated watering system. 

Additional features:

• Double glazed windows 
• Hydronic heating  
• Refrigerated cooling
• Jarrah timber floors
• Alarm system
• Intercom 
• Automated front gates with TV monitor 

The property is close to both the Eltham and Research shops, quality schools and public transport. The estimated sales range for the home is $1,800,000 - $1,900,000.
