Floor Plan & Site Plan
As you rise out of Belgrave and curve into Sherbrooke Forest, something shifts. The light softens, the trees close in, and the rest of the world begins to fall away. At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, where forest and garden blur, you’ll find a home that feels like it’s always been waiting for you.
21 Owen Street is that rare blend of soulful charm and sophisticated renewal - where decades of character have been preserved, elevated, and reimagined for modern living. From the moment you step onto the wide front verandah and through the glass-framed entry, the home reveals its calm, expressive nature. A double-height ceiling lifts the entry foyer skyward, drawing your gaze to the timber-lined “gallery” above - a light-filled bridge between the private and the shared.
The heart of the home - a handcrafted kitchen designed by Kaas Interiors - anchors the open-plan living space. With artisan-painted cabinetry, a Smeg cooker, Miele integrated dishwasher, fireclay sink, and Mexican terracotta tiles underfoot, every detail feels intentional and layered with story. A striking porthole window connects the kitchen to the Green Room - the home’s most beloved retreat - where soft green walls echo the canopy beyond, and sunlight streams through picture windows all year round.
Tasmanian oak floors run throughout, complemented by concrete and natural stone sinks, reclaimed timber, and Porter’s Paints in grounding, textural hues. The bathroom and ensuite echo each other in form and feel - both wrapped in Italian handmade tiles laid in a vertical stacked pattern. The main bathroom leans into a bolder, statement blue, while the ensuite softens into forest-toned greens. Together, they strike a beautiful balance of boutique design and spa-like calm - think luxury Airbnb, without the checkout.
With three bedrooms, including a serene upstairs master with treetop views and a large second bedroom, there’s room to stretch out - and ample storage throughout, including an attic void and workshop under the house. The garden, edged in Corten steel and native plantings, is low maintenance but alive with birdsong, resident wombats, and seasonal colour. An extended deck leads to a firepit, framed by ferns and filtered light - the perfect way to close out the day.
There’s a quiet confidence to this home. Nothing rushed, nothing overdone. Just a place that’s been gently transformed into a modern character haven - ready for its next chapter.

Local’s Secret
There’s a magic to mornings here. No curtains, no need. Just mist on the ferns, king parrots in the gums, and a front-row seat to the forest waking up. And when you’re ready for company? Kallista Tearooms and village life are just a 10-minute stroll away.
Local’s Secret
The Kallista General Store is a quiet icon - where locals stock up on ready-to-go fondue and cocktails. Whether it’s Friday night in or a forest-side picnic, it’s the kind of hidden gem that makes this pocket of the Hills feel extra special.
