    NILJA - Physical Description 1

    "Nilja" is a single-storey timber house, perched high above the Yarra River at Warrandyte. It is a hip-roofed timber house surrounded by an enclosed verandah which is very wide. This has walls in some places and flyscreens in others. The weatherboards are creosoted. The windows are casements as triples or French doors. The sashes are painted cream in green frames. Presumably these are all colours original to the 1920s.

    The house has a high elevation in the front (north) and faces the spectacular view over the Yarra valley towards Eltham. A rear (south) verandah has turned Edwardian posts. There are red brick chimneys and the roof is painted red. There is a double garage, contemporary with the house.

    The fences are post and wire with metal droppers. The drive is lined with eucalypts and the garden has other residual plantings from the 1920s. The central hip-roofed section seems earlier in form, but there is no physical evidence of this.
