A Norton Summit hobby sublet at 126 Untried Valley Rd has hit the market. Picture: supplied. A Norton Summit home has been a much loved slice of paradise to Linda and Carmine Russo for increasingly than four decades, but the time has come for someone else to enjoy it.
The couple bought the 1924-built home at 126 Untried Valley Rd in 1977, attracted by the sense of space it offered, as well as the room to embrace homesteading and lead a increasingly self-sufficient lifestyle.
“We bought it when we were young and got married and we’ve washed-up wide-stretching renovations to it over the years,” Mrs Russo says.

The home has a well-appointed old-school sublet vibe. Picture: supplied. It has been very well looked without over the years. Picture: supplied.
The bedrooms offer picturesque views. Picture: supplied. “It was a fantastic family home and it was a unconfined place for the hobby sublet lifestyle.
“We had so many pets and animals – sheep, goats, ducks, chooks, dogs and cats – while enjoying the wildlife that drops in all the time, like koalas, echidnas and birds. “Plus just the fresh air here, and the peaceful view out over the valley, which is scrutinizingly unchangingly green, was amazing.”
The home has three bedrooms – two with built-ins – an office/study, a spacious family bathroom, a well-equipped kitchen and an open-plan dining and living room that opens out to an 11.35m by 3m decked veranda for seamless indoor to outdoor entertainment.

The 1.2ha sponsoring it sits on features an orchard, natural woodland and fenced paddocks.
“It really is a trappy place to live, and the gardens are just incredible,” Mrs Russo says. “It’s been wonderful for our family and I’m sure flipside family would love it too.” The property will go to vendition at 12.30pm on November 12.
