It begins the way all beautiful Dandenong Ranges homes should: with quiet privacy, an evergreen outlook, and an instant intuitive sense that you’ve arrived somewhere special. Set behind an electric gate on approx. 1594sqm, this property feels like a private hills sanctuary - fully fenced, secure, and bathed in north-eastern sunlight with peaceful valley views. And if you’ve ever dreamed of gifting yourself something truly magical for Christmas, consider this your rare jewel: a home loved, cherished, and preserved by only three families since the 1940s… and now ready for its next custodian.
Inside, the home carries its 1940s Art Deco soul with absolute grace. Original sash windows, ornate cornices, picture rails, stunning ceiling moulds and elegant timber floors frame the rooms with charm. The current owners have layered in quiet luxury where it counts: 100% wool carpets, locally sourced designer curtains, a new heat pump, and gas-ducted heating, ensuring the romance of vintage aesthetics is matched by modern comfort. The atmosphere is warm and deeply welcoming - the sort of house that feels like a comforting embrace.
Movement through the home is fluid and thoughtful. The open kitchen is a social, chef-ready haven with stone benchtops, AEG stainless-steel appliances, induction cooktop, wrap-around peninsula seating, and the loveliest surprise… a walk-in pantry with its own window allowing natural light to pour in. This space looks across the dining area and family room anchored by a crackling wood fire, before leading into a cosy lounge made for winter evenings and conversations that stretch into the night.
Accommodation is thoughtfully arranged for both comfort and flexibility, with two serene bedrooms on the main level and a privately positioned third bedroom downstairs. The sparkling new bathroom feels more like a boutique retreat than a daily essential, starring a deep soak bath with a leafy garden view, a blissful rain shower, and a stone-topped vanity that adds just the right touch of contemporary luxury.
Outside, nature puts on a daily theatre. Wrap-around verandahs with secluded nooks offer spots for morning tea, laptop-in-the-sun hours, and evening wine-o’clock rituals. The all-season deck is a standout - the view unfolds toward the Warburton ranges, shifting with the light, endlessly soul-soothing. The garden is a collector’s dream: blankets of lawn, Japanese maples, weeping cherry trees, hydrangeas, a majestic date palm, towering oak and maple guardians, and a forest pansy, all attracting rosellas, king parrots, kookaburras, and seasonal butterflies.
Downstairs, flexibility is the quiet superpower of this property. The lower level offers the third bedroom plus a third living zone with its own entry - and storage options galore under-stair and under-house. Then there’s the separate suite attached to the double garage: a true multifunction star of the show. With its own bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette, living space and deck, it opens the door to a home-based business, teen independence, guest wing, multigeneration living - or Airbnb income.
From the sealed driveway to the dual car accommodation, from the NBN connection to the hills-flat contiguous lawn for safe play - every detail considers real living. The location? Just off prestigious Falls Road, surrounded by friendly neighbours, forest atmosphere, and the poetry of birdsong at dusk.
This isn’t simply a home - it’s a hand-over of legacy, heart, and beauty. If you’ve been waiting for the right one… this might just be it.
