property
CHARACTER, CHARM IN TOP SPOT IT’S not often you find such a fine example of a hills home still featuring many original character features, such as an ornate ceiling rose in the dining room with original windows and fireplaces converted to gas. Adding to the charm of a bygone era are a wood heater, picture and plate rails and embossed wallpaper. The house over time has been extended to four bedrooms, living zones and a beautiful sunroom, a great spot to read a book or two on a winters’ day. The large family room at the rear is situated to take in views across the stunning backyard, where the odd echidna, lyrebird or tame king parrots can be seen visiting. Why not meander through the 3000m2 approx of stunning gardens consisting of sculptured English box, camellias daffodils, blue bells and mature lemonade trees? A host of other fruit trees plus beautiful copper beech and giant liquid amber really make
this a special garden. Cross the stone bridge at the rear of the property and listen to the sound of frogs in your very own frog pond. A separate character cottage with its own access is ideal as a teenage retreat, in-laws, guest accommodation or a fantastic home office. All this and more situated on one of the best streets in the Dandenong Ranges. It’s only a short stroll to the bus stop, a 10-minute drive to Upper Ferntree Gully train station and there are fantastic choices of local schools just minutes away. Other additions complete this superb property, a fully fenced near flat yard, sealed bluestone lined driveway, carport, ducted heating, Miele dishwasher and a lifestyle many just dream about. Inspect this special property in a special location today. ●

HOME FOCUS
HAMPTONS OF THE HILLS THIS bespoke home nestled amongst the forests of the Dandenong Ranges truly captures the charm of the mountain. The agent calls it the Hamptons of the Hills. Secluded and private, this elevated home provides the most enchanting filtered views that come with living in the hills. As you enter through the rustic garden, you are greeted with a covered deck expanding the width of the property. From there you step into an expansive white contemporary kitchen supported with its own butler's pantry. This is the perfect space for growing families or entertaining.
The dining room is spacious and flows beautifully into the main living space which is warmed by a sensational gas log fireplace. This open plan area leads you to the sunken second living space. Here you will be mesmerized by the view of your garden through a wall of glass. This is the perfect area to read, meditate, create or simply just relax in your private surroundings. This gorgeous home has three bedrooms, two of which have their own entry. Perfect for those with teenagers or guests staying over. The master bedroom has its own ensuite and Juliet balcony for lazy Sunday breakfasts in the morning's rays amongst the trees.
The fully renovated main bathroom is positioned perfectly for long soaks as you drift off into the leafy views. This home also comes with its own separate quaint cottage which has been fully renovated. This was the home of the original builders and well-respected potters in the area in the 1950s. The cottage is self-sufficient and has captivated long term tenants for the past nine-plus years. This is an investor's dream with potential in the areas of tenancy, Bed and Breakfast, small business or simply somewhere for
family or guests to stay with complete privacy. The tranquil setting offers the perfect environment for study and research projects and has two quirky study spaces. One has it’s own private entry and gorgeous private garden views to provide unlimited inspiration.
