54 Ridge Road, Mount Dandenong VIC 3767

Lovingly cherished and enjoyed for over 24 years and before that an inspiring art studio, this deceptively spacious home is ensconced behind a stunning gardenscape that offers a truly magical setting in which to live, dream and imagine. Whilst requiring some TLC and modern enhancements – the home with a few cosmetic touches and the right foundations, will be a wonderful, private retreat surrounded by a whimsical garden setting which has beautifully evolved over time with a mystical forest outlook from your private deck and the Trig Track at the back gate. Alternatively, you may wish to start again with your own vision for this little slice of hills heaven. Close to the CFA for peace of mind and the bus stop for convenience, the property is also walking distance to Mount Dandenong Primary School, Mount Dandenong Pre-School, Sky High and just a 5-minute drive from the village.

Talking Points:
• Potential plus!
• Lounge/dining with exposed beams and wood panelling and a toasty Coonara style wood fire at its centre.
• Homely kitchen original in every way!
• Five bedrooms, one off a step-down hallway with its own entrance (ideal as a home office/studio), master with walk-through robes to ensuite and large sunny bedroom at the rear with delightful garden views.
• Enjoy a morning cuppa from the north-westerly facing deck with a glorious golden elm lighting up the backyard.
• Many King Parrots, Rosellas and Kookaburras come to visit on the deck and are friendly enough to eat from your hand!
• Pottering in the rear gardens that back onto state forest and The Trig Track dotted with stonework hedging, natives, flourishing lemon tree, herb garden, Japanese maple, Cootamundra and Snowy River wattles, peppercorns and yellow daisies.
• Magical front gardens awash with meandering pathways that emanate a feeling of mystery and intrigue as you weave among glorious birds nest and tree ferns and the humming of the bees in the hydrangeas. There are so many inviting spots to sit, read a chapter or daydream for a while and a sun-kissed lawn for the kids to relish.
• Long driveway that leads to a double garage and further down a single carport adjacent to the house. There is an abundance of off-street parking for cars, caravans, trailers and boats.
• The comfort of ducted heating throughout and air conditioning in the lounge.
• Immerse yourself in a wonderful hills community where friendly neighbours look out for one and other with an abundance of bushwalks at your doorstep adding to the lifestyle appeal.
