33 Highcliff Road, Upwey VIC 3158

A Family Home that is Practical, Surprising and Spectacular!





Larger than it seems, this 5-bedroom (and study) family home has been in the one family for many years – now it’s time to pass the baton. Understated cottage frontage gives only a hint of what is to come with its welcoming waterfall and pond centred garden.


Once you open the door into the private entry to your left is the very spacious study (or 6th bedroom) positioned to escape the bustle of family life and work or hide!


The entry opens into comfortable lounge warmed by a cosy combustion fire. Off the lounge rest and revive whilst reading in the library ‘wing.’ This area offers stunning views of both gardens and the mountains.


Zoned away from the living area is the perfect parental retreat with large bedroom, private deck (with outdoor spa!) and a beautifully appointed ensuite with cast iron bath and an incredible view!


The hub of the house truly is the kitchen/meals area designed for the dedicated chef (or most creative mess maker!).
Have your breath taken away by the northerly view and the mountains across the valley below. The rich Jarrah flooring and cabinetry adds class and charm, whilst the dining area accommodates family gatherings with space for a large dining table. This is where family come to talk about the day over a great meal.


Open the double glass doors and step onto the large deck and take in the views of the mountains, entertain, relax, or enjoy the birds eye view of the beautiful garden below. Enjoy a balmy summer night after dinner, have dessert on the deck watching the pink and orange sky, it is special here.


Heading downstairs you enter the ‘play area’ of the house with its massive living and rumpus (perfect for a pool table) space. Entertain from the bar and watch TV or just play!


Off the ‘play’ space are four bedrooms all with built in robes and all with stunning views. This a great teenage retreat or even guest area and lends itself to multi-generational living. There is also the recently renovated family bathroom and a laundry with space to get the job done.


For those that enjoy the outdoors, the garden has many secret areas to sit a contemplate life. It is one of those gardens that must be seen to truly be appreciated. There are many deck areas including the ‘cubbyhouse’ deck to relax on whilst listening to the water cascade into the pond below. On a warm day sit on the pond landing and soak up the sun whilst on a cool day you can sit around the fire pit and enjoy the warmth. On any day wander the paths of the garden and enjoy the peaceful paradise or just hide in the treehouse!


When you enter this house, it is like playing pass the parcel, with every layer unwrapping another treasure.


And on top of all of that enjoy:


The proximity to schools and shops


Short walk to Upwey Train Station


Upwey Township with speciality shops and an active community.


Hydronic heating


Reverse Cycle Air conditioning


6kW Solar Power system


Under house workshop and storage


Rainwater tanks


Enormous block, massive views, north facing (sunlight!) and peace





All this only under one hour’s drive from Melbourne CBD. See what all the fuss is about, living in the Hills. A wonderful place to live.
