Nestled on a gently cascading third of an acre (approx.) this classic 1940s clinker offers a harmonious blend of original character and modern functionality with scope for further updates. With a flexible floorplan spread across two levels, the home captures the essence of hills living, surrounded by nature yet just moments from all the conveniences you could need in a quiet no through road.

The property’s charming original features, including double-hung sash windows, leadlight accents, soaring 9ft ceilings, beautiful timber doors and architraves, timber floors and exposed brick, add unique character and timeless appeal.

The generous footprint welcomes with a large timber kitchen, fitted with stainless-steel appliances and plentiful cabinetry, equally adept at catering for family gatherings or quiet dinners at home.

Separately zoned, a lavish lounge, with its timber floors and modern wood fire, offers a cosy space for relaxation, while the dining zone—hugged by exposed brick—adds a rustic, warm ambiance for shared meals as you gaze out at the gardens.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is framed by dual-aspect windows, allowing natural light to flood in while capturing stunning views of the surrounding garden greenery. With built-in shelves and a charming bench seat, this room is a serene retreat that could also form another living space. Two additional bedrooms are generous in size and are serviced by a bathroom featuring slate tiling and a shower over bath.

Downstairs, a separate living area or fourth bedroom comes with its own entrance, wood fire, and bathroom, making it ideal for multigenerational families, noisy teens, frequent guests, a home office/business space or as a rental opportunity for extra income. The expansive, well-established gardens offer a tranquil escape, brimming with hills classics like hydrangeas, Japanese snowball, lilies, forget-me-nots, camellias, azaleas, and clematis, creating a lush, picturesque setting for outdoor living. Kids will delight in exploring the terraced grounds bordered by vibrant greenery and lush hedges, while green thumbs will relish pottering in the sunshine to the sounds of birdsong. With flat areas for alfresco dining and ample space for chooks or a veggie patch, this garden is perfect for those who love a fresh-air lifestyle. The property’s rear access from Kalorama Terrace is an added bonus, offering easy entry and additional parking options. With a garden shed and a 2-room studio/bungalow on-site, there’s also plenty of space for hobbies, storage, or creative pursuits.

Perfectly positioned for a lifestyle that others only dream of this home is steps away from Kalorama Reserve and Destiny Point Café, where locals and tourists alike come to enjoy the natural beauty of the area. A short stroll will take you to the famous Five Ways Lookout, offering breathtaking views of Silvan Dam, while scenic forest walks are practically at your doorstep.

Despite its tranquil setting, you’ll find yourself just minutes from local shops, cafes, and the post office, with all the iconic attractions of The Dandenong Ranges close by. For families, Mt Dandenong Primary School and Pre-School are less than five minutes away, and the conveniences of Montrose are just down the mountain, making this a truly perfect location for a peaceful yet connected lifestyle.
