Last Listing description (March 2023)

A quiet and secluded locals only road leads you to this sun filled weatherboard home where a lush tree fern arising from the welcoming deck entrance hints at the beautiful setting that lies beyond.

Set back from the road and enveloped by nature with Ferny Creek frontage at the boundary, the home with a flexible and family friendly layout, delivers a peaceful haven to raise a family or work from home. Approximately a 3-minute drive from the heart of Upwey village, and walking distance to schools and day-care.

With a split level design and soaring raked ceilings, the home is light-filled and comfortably nestled within its enchanting landscape. Complete with updates including new carpet, a freshly painted interior and exterior, and a rejuvenated main bathroom, there is scope for more space under the house for extended living or even a self contained flat.

A contemporary kitchen with breakfast bar makes life easy with banks of cabinetry. Ample bench space and stainless-steel cooking appliances complement the beautifully renewed black slate flooring. Adjacent a meals zone/second living area allows for extended friends and family to gather and share together, while providing space for retreat to separate areas when desired.

Step-down to the comfy living area with a cosy fireplace creating a warm and relaxing space in winter, or a cool retreat on hot summer nights. An outlook to the rear gardens is enhanced by a back deck that overlooks the lush oasis of towering tree ferns and a meadow of lilies, accompanied by the soundtrack of birdsong that call the gardens home.

A privately positioned master retreat with modern ensuite, walk-in robe and its own deck entrance is a haven which provides peaceful separation from the childrens/guest wing. Two additional bedrooms with built in robes have easy access to the sparkling refreshed main bathroom and can be enclosed in their own area. Perfect if you want to utilise one bedroom as a work from home space, or provide guests with their own private quarters.

The previous owners had the house as an investment property and ran it as a very successful rental property for several years. It was continuously filled as there is a significant demand for rentals particularly for families in this area. Additionally there is excellent scope to list the property as an Airbnb with the prospect of lucrative additional income as there are limited options for short stay accommodation in this popular area.

The house is close village of Upwey, The locals love the hidden gems including great cafes and eating, cute gift shops, the Fat Goat bar, an IGA, Upwey Railway Station, and services such as Upwey Doctors Medical Clinic, dentist, a gym, chiropractor, newsagent and close to primary schools and Upwey High School.

Nearby Belgrave has the fabulous Cameo Cinema, Puffing Billy Steam Train, fine dining, numerous cafes, and bars and a Woolworths supermarket meaning all you need is at your doorstep. A short drive through Sherbrooke Forest creates access to the well-known villages of Sassafras and Olinda with their wonderful shops and wares so popular in the Dandenong Ranges.

More to Love:
Freshly painted exterior, and interior with new carpet throughout.
Programable central ducted gas heating and split system for seasonal comfort
The unsealed road is due for sealing within the next financial year.
A large rainwater tank collects water for use in the garden and is connected to the toilets.

Approximately 12-minute walk to Upwey South Primary and Dandenong Ranges Child Care Centre

Scope for adding further living space under the house (STCA) if a flat/rumpus is desirable by converting 2 x storage rooms.

10 years of working with the Stream Frontage Management Program run by Southeast Water with the adjacent neighbours has allowed yearly grants to remove weeds, revegetate the creek line, and funded indigenous planting well into the back garden. This has improved water quality and attracted abundant local wildlife, including many bird species.
