212 Olinda Monbulk Road, Monbulk VIC 3793

Designed by Robert Styne for The Age RVIA Architects Housing Service "Metabolic House" Competition Circa 1972 and showcasing dreamy south easterly views out to Kallista and The Patch, the serene and tranquil outlook of this split-level Dandenong Ranges home will make you fall in love with the lifestyle and opportunity on offer. Immersed within exquisite natural surrounds, it's the ideal family sanctuary with lofty raked ceilings and exposed beams flowing overhead throughout the open-plan living area, whilst polished floorboards are enhanced by skylit natural light and majestic clerestory windows. As the sun sets through the Blackwood trees, there’s no better place to be than on the expansive deck, before retreating to the cosiness of the crackling Coonara wood fire. The floorplan has been cleverly designed to maximise communal space, with zoned sleeping quarters and a mezzanine home office/play space offering a flexible option depending on your lifestyle needs. The location adds further allure with the peace and seclusion complemented by the urban convenience of nearby Monbulk including Aldi, Woolworths, deli, medical centre, gyms, cafes, restaurants, Monbulk Primary School and the Aquatic Centre all under 5-minutes away or an easy fresh-air walk.

The Owners Love:
“How the home is perfectly oriented for amazing star gazing with no city lights interrupting the moonlit skies and the spectacular Southern Cross. We chose this home especially for the lack of urban glare it affords on this side of the mountain.”
