Originally built in the 1920's, this beguiling residence incorporates an enigmatic history with recent modernisations that blend seamlessly to create the perfect family home.


Attractive established gardens, leadlight windows and a quaint verandah entice you inside where warm Jarrah flooring and 10ft ceilings flow throughout. On the first floor discover two bedrooms, with the master suite (currently used as a formal dining room) suite showcasing a grand open fireplace with in laid timber mantel, ornate cornices and ceiling rose. It also accesses a walk in robe and ensuite.

Full-height picture windows on the first floor are mirrored on the ground floor, appearing to float above and below the central staircase, creating a beautiful architectural feature and talking point that cleverly connects the two zones. Views out to the Dandenong Ranges fill the open plan living area which features a large dining area and country-style kitchen with gas cooktop.

Sit underneath the soaring gabled ceilings of the outdoor entertaining zone, perched amongst the tree-tops. A glistening solar-heated pool beckons on those hot summer days, with complete privacy afforded by the lush established gardens that surround it.

Ideal for a growing family, the ground floor comprises two robed bedrooms, family bathroom with luxurious claw-footed bath and a spacious living room that accesses the 991sqm (approx.) gardens via French doors.

A fifth bedroom and retreat/study can be found on the third floor which relishes in mountain aspects and a charming pitched roofline. Further highlights include a double garage with workshop and mezzanine storage, ducted heating and air-conditioning. Just a short walk to the train station, shops, restaurants, parkland and schools.
