If you’ve been yearning for a life defined by tranquillity and comfort with vintage character at every turn, this enchanting art deco residence may just steal your heart. Elegantly reimagined, the home fuses its original 1930's charm with superb modern finishes and family liveability to create an enduring style. North facing with a sunny rear disposition, the home (one of Kalorama’s original cottages) is just 5 minutes up the mountain from Montrose Village but enjoys the signature serenity of hills life. Poised on a FLAT quarter acre parcel, this charm-filled property is on offer for only the third time in almost a century and delivers a peaceful family haven nestled in the majestic Dandenong Ranges.
Wrapped in a glorious blanket of nostalgia you’ll be mesmerised by its cosy, yet flowing interiors where remnants from the past shine alongside contemporary updates. Lofty ceilings, warm polished boards, sash windows, picture rails, art deco handles and doors and leadlight accents exude a warm ambiance, inviting you into its enticing world of comfort and bliss.
A gracious family home, the floorplan has been designed with a perfect balance of living space, with areas to retreat, gather or entertain.
At the entrance, a snug living room is enriched by a stunning geometric ceiling mould and is perfect for relaxed downtime. Alternatively, you can easily turn the space into a fourth bedroom. Beyond, a classic kitchen adorned with ceramic counters, 900mm stainless steel cooker, dishwasher and walk-in pantry, encapsulates the heart and soul of this heart-warming abode where family will converge upon the breakfast bar for homework and daily chats.
Unfolding at the rear, a lavish sunroom beckons with its light-filled setting inviting you to enjoy the great outdoors in complete comfort. Fitted with a hostess kitchenette and electric blinds, here you can sip your morning coffee, bask in the quietude, and let the serenity invigorate your senses or invite family and friends over and entertain in style.
Two bedrooms at the entrance are conveniently close to the gleaming stone-topped main bathroom and enhanced by expansive floor to ceiling robes. Privately positioned, the master parlour is a glamourous retreat for the heads of the house where a contemporary ensuite with luxe monsoon shower and chic floor to ceiling robes are perfectly paired with vintage reclaimed doors that swing to a private balcony.
Outside, lush gardens deliver oodles of flat play space for the little ones and there’s a greenhouse and veggie beds to satisfy avid gardeners. A sizable double garage with drive through access will also cater for storage, tradies and tinkerers whilst dual driveways, a single carport and additional off-street parking add to the family focused appeal.
Walking distance of the general store and post office where everyone knows you by name, Kalorama offers complete peace and tranquillity with the bonus of a friendly old school community appeal. Enjoy being opposite Kalorama Oval and Playground, the skate park, and Karwarra Nursery and close to all the delights of the Dandenong Ranges, Kalorama Park, Destiny Point Café, Silvan Dam Lookout, walking tracks, Mt Dandenong Primary School and Pre-School or benefit from being well connected to all the conveniences of Montrose or Mount Evelyn a short drive down the mountain.
