Belgrave South VIC 3160

Picture-perfect with its namesake charm, “La Jolie Maison” (The Pretty House) is a beautiful weatherboard home nestled in English-style gardens and framed by a canopy of soaring raked ceilings and gleaming timber floorboards. Set on a pristine 1718m2 parcel in the heart of Belgrave South, this four-bedroom haven offers an idyllic family lifestyle in one of the area’s most serene yet connected addresses.

Lovingly held by the same family for 37 years, this '60s-built home has been thoughtfully extended and renovated over time, blending elegance and modern comforts with a timeless warmth. A rare find, this enchanting retreat brings together the very best of hills charm and contemporary living, offering a beautiful, welcoming space to create your own legacy. The home boasts a formal dining and living area at the front, with an alluring gas log fire, ideal for intimate evenings. The meals nook, complete with banquette seating, adds a cosy corner for casual family dining.

The heart of the home is a stunning stone topped kitchen, adorned with Venetian tiles, a 900mm stainless steel cooker, and a breakfast bench that invites casual gatherings. Overlooking the expansive family room with cosy Nectre wood fire, this space effortlessly spills onto a limestone alfresco dining area, perfect for entertaining. Here, enchanting gardens frame the view, with manicured box hedges, lush lawns, and English cottage beds bursting with seasonal blooms in shades of yellow, purple, and white—lavender, bearded iris, and more creating a tapestry of colour year-round.

Privately zoned away from the main living spaces, the master suite offers a peaceful retreat, with a walk-in robe and beautifully renovated ensuite. Off the hallway, three additional bedrooms (two with built-in robes) are serviced by a luxe family bathroom, fully tiled and featuring high-end fittings.

The outdoor spaces are equally impressive. Beyond the alfresco zone lies a gas heated swim spa—perfect for exercise or soaking with friends—while the expansive blanket of lawn is dotted with lemon and lime trees, a breathtaking Robinia tree, Japanese maples and a Blue Spruce. At the front, a driveway framed by manicured hedges and vibrant roses sets the scene, with stunning highlights including silver birch and a smoke tree.

Freshly polished hardwood floors flow through the living areas, while new carpets in the bedrooms offer a plush underfoot feel. Gas ducted heating, a gas log fire, and split system air conditioning ensure year-round comfort.

For practicality, a tandem garage with a workshop bench provides space for two small cars or one plus a workshop. And with the church as your rear neighbour, Christmas becomes extra special as you enjoy the choir’s carols from your own garden retreat.

All your necessities are also just a short walk away including Belgrave South Reserve, Primary School, Belgrave South shops and cafes and bus stop right at your fingertips plus only a short drive to Belgrave Heights Christian School, Belgrave train station and Wellington Road, Fountain Gate, Birdsland Reserve, Lysterfield Lake and Baluk Willam Nature Conservation Reserve, and Belgrave Train Station offering an easy commute to the CBD.

In this prime location, with its immaculate gardens and a home brimming with love and memories, "La Jolie Maison" is ready to welcome its next chapter.
