26 Barbers Road, Kalorama VIC 3766

Serenity: a state of calm, untroubled, at peace.


In the mad whirl of modern life, we often dream of an escape, away from the hustle and the noise.


To many, this means moving to Regional Victoria, hours from Melbourne.


Kalorama is only 35 kilometres east of Melbourne, an easy commute when balancing working from both home and the office.


Offering three bedrooms, two bathrooms and gorgeous open living space with timber floors.



Easterly facing full-height windows capture the glow of sunrise and overlook the stunning hills garden and frame the nearby mountains, with views of Silvan Dam and glimpses of the distant Yarra Valley.


The bedrooms are well zoned, if you are thinking AirBnB then this home would be ideal. The floorplan is a single level with just one step up to the front door. The current owners remark that it is very easy to live here.


The overwhelming feeling when you are resting on any of the three surrounding decks is of quiet, pensive relaxation, of finally being able to hear yourself think - wandering across the lawns of the upper terraces allows perspective and provides commanding views.


The near 3/4 of an acre (2681 m2) of hills garden has been terraced throughout to suit the sloping block. It boasts hedges of Azaleas that will burst into colour in Spring and mature Rhododendron trees that create a riot of colour - a seasonal mountain bouquet seldom seen outside of the Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden in nearby Olinda. Delight in the abundant and colourful array of different plants and flowering species that thrive in this volcanic soil, tended to by successive green-thumb owners.


A double garage with auto remote door lies at the top of the sealed driveway, with easy access to the house for those fortunate enough to live here. There is also additional parking at the top and the bottom of the driveway. Tosari Rd meets the rear of the property giving rare dual road access. The lot immediately behind the home remains undeveloped and imparts the sense of living at the forest edge - currently, a single pedestrian gate exists to Tosari Rd.


An efficient (and delightfully toasty) woodheater, recently replaced ducted gas heating unit, plus a reverse-cycle split system provides heating redundancy and means you can maintain your perfect temperature year-round, regardless of the mountain climate. We are cooler than Melbourne generally, which is wonderful in the heat of Summer. Our autumns and winters are crisp and delightful and Spring takes Hills living to another level.


Privacy, peacefulness, perfection.
