At only 20 years old, this well-established home exudes warmth and elegance. The front verandas span across the ground and first floor, providing breathtaking views of the Dandenong Ranges National Park.

Step into the main living area and be greeted by a soaring cathedral ceiling and Sydney blue gum polished wood floorboards. The cozy ambiance is enhanced by a Jotul freestanding fireplace. A dedicated study nook and a lighting control system add practicality and mood-setting capabilities.

Unleash your culinary creativity in the galley-style kitchen, featuring sleek black tiger-eye marble benchtops and stainless-steel appliances. The custom-made kitchen cabinetry was crafted from Baltic pine floorboards salvaged from a Brunswick miner's cottage. The European laundry showcases a polished timber slab benchtop sourced from an original wind-break cypress tree planted in the late 1800s when Upper Ferntree Gully was a farming area.

The master bedroom offers ample space, built-in wardrobes, and polished Tasmanian Oak floorboards. Enjoy the view of the backyard orchard. Two additional bedrooms on the ground floor also feature built-in wardrobes and scenic views of the Dandenong Ranges National Park.

Stay comfortable year-round with ducted heating and cooling, while the passive solar design and verandas help keep energy bills low. Abundant storage options include a dedicated storage room, workshop, and additional in-ceiling and under-house storage space.

Entertain family and friends in the spacious backyard entertaining area, perfect for hosting gatherings and alfresco dining. Immerse yourself in the tranquillity of the expertly landscaped gardens, adorned with established trees offering privacy and a variety of fresh produce. Stone terraces and bluestone block steps and paths, salvaged from Melbourne's laneways, add unique touches to the outdoor space.

Explore the convenience of the area with close proximity to schools, shops, hospitals, trains, and buses. Enjoy easy access to the iconic 1000 Steps walking trail, where nature beckons you to immerse yourself in its beauty. Delight in the abundance of local amenities, including schools, shopping centers, medical facilities, and efficient public transport options.
