Nestled in the heart of Ferny Creek (rated one of Melbourne’s safest suburbs), this character-filled weatherboard home on a sweeping half acre allotment offers an enchanting escape with breathtaking westerly views stretching to Arthurs Seat. At dusk, as the suburbs below sparkle to life, this captivating outlook will never lose its charm—day or night, it's a view that reminds you just how lucky you are. Seamlessly blending hillside charm with French country elegance, luxe upgrades for modern living and bespoke touches throughout, this immaculately presented, turnkey home is a true hills sanctuary.
A grand stone island takes centre stage in the light-infused kitchen, complemented by a social breakfast bench for gathering around, 900mm cooker to cater for a crowd, and beautiful imported pendant lighting over the dining zone. French doors lead to a lavish lounge room with an original rock fireplace with gas log insert, bespoke built-in shelving, and picture-perfect garden greenery at every turn.
With three elegant king size bedrooms, including a master with a sublime ensuite and walk-in robe, this home caters to superb comfort and versatility. One of the bedrooms includes an attached sitting or TV room with Lopi-slow combustion fireplace, perfect for guests/multigenerational living or a quiet retreat space. Not to be outdone, the family bathroom with bevelled edge shower screen and a soaker tub is a masterpiece, featuring a skylight and a bespoke diamond leadlight window that casts magical prisms of light throughout the day.
Outside, this private, half-acre retreat has it all - wrap-around decking with a built-in barbeque for entertaining, garden “rooms” bursting with mature copper beech and ash trees, maples, rhododendrons, azaleas, agapanthus and foxglove, and even a children’s play area. Pathways wind through the grounds, leading to secluded sitting spots, a melodic water feature, and sweeping westerly views of the sunset, lightening shows and Melbourne’s sparkling skyline. Pure magic!
With Sherbrooke Forest nearby and Ferny Creek’s best walking trails at your doorstep, this is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle, offering endless beauty, privacy, space, and moments that feel like your own slice of paradise.
