Nestled in a tranquil and sought-after Hills location, ‘Killara’ is a charming 1950s cottage that has been expertly transformed into a stunning two-storey home. Blending modern luxury with a serene bushland setting, this home is perfect for both young and established families.
The ground floor features a captivating entrance through established magnolia trees, leading to two double bedrooms, a luxurious bathroom, and a versatile study/bedroom.
On the first floor, full-length floor-to-ceiling doors and windows showcase breathtaking views of the Dandenong Ranges National Park, Mt Dandenong, and Melbourne’s Northeast suburbs. A small balcony provides a perfect spot for enjoying refreshments on warm days and nights. The open-plan living area includes a large kitchen with quality Smeg appliances, generous worktop areas with wooden benchtops, and a separate butler’s pantry.
An architect-designed kitchen window offers a view of the rear gardens and lawns. The space also includes a dining area, lounge, and TV zone with an open Jetmaster wood heater, as well as a cozy book nook. Additionally, there is a second toilet and basin on this level, along with a compact laundry leading to an external entertainment/BBQ area, featuring a fire pit with bench seating for drinks and marshmallows on winter nights.
9 ¾ is a magical detached studio providing an enchanting space, ideal as a granny flat, teenager’s retreat, or potential B&B. It includes a functional bedroom/living area and an ensuite bathroom. Generous windows provide natural light and treetop views, complemented by its own ‘Hogwarts owl.’
The outdoor spaces feature semi-formal landscaped gardens with paths, terraced areas, and standing rocks. Winding paths lead to benches and decks offering elevated views of the bush and district. Mature tree canopies create a cool, inviting space for summer relaxation. Children will delight in the cubbies, fort, and swings scattered across the expansive 2146m² block.
