30 Richards Road, MONTROSE

There’s a certain calm that settles in the Montrose foothills - birdsong drifting through the trees, dappled light on timber floors, and the feeling that you’ve arrived somewhere quietly special. Privately positioned on approximately 864m² and gently unfolding across three levels, this contemporary residence is a true haven, blending everyday comfort with a deep connection to outdoor spaces. Set well back from the street and backing directly onto a nature reserve, the home immediately feels safe, secluded and wonderfully private. Crisp plantation shutters lend a subtle Hamptons note, while soaring timber-lined raked ceilings introduce warmth and architectural flair. Every turn invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy the setting. The kitchen sits confidently at the centre of daily life, beautifully equipped with stone benchtops, a 900mm cooker, dishwasher and stainless steel appliances and a generous breakfast bar under pendant lighting. From here, leafy outlooks frame your cooking moments, whether it’s weekday dinners or entertaining a crowd. The adjoining dining area forms a natural gathering point, and the entire zone spills out to a paved, fully enclosed alfresco and lawn - perfect for barefoot play, or a glass of wine at dusk. A comfortable lounge room delivers cosy winter evenings, anchored by a toasty open fireplace that adds both warmth and atmosphere. With four external doors throughout the home, indoor living flows effortlessly outdoors - you’re never more than a few steps from deck, garden, or pool. Accommodation is thoughtfully zoned. Two attic-style bedrooms occupy the upper level, each with built-in robes and a peaceful treetop feel. The lavish main bedroom sits privately on the second level, complete with built-in robes, a sleek modern ensuite, and a tiled step-down retreat ideal as a nursery, home office or gym - with its own external access. A second family bathroom services the home with ease. Outdoors is where this property truly shines. Entertain on the deck and host summer dinners beside the sparkling solar-heated concrete pool, or retreat to the pool house and pergola, fully enclosable with remote blinds for year-round enjoyment. Fruit trees - plum, lemon, lime, fig and olive - add charm, productivity and seasonal joy. With shops, Montrose Primary School and village cafés around the corner, and direct gated access to Richards Reserve offering leafy walks, playgrounds and a shortcut to morning coffee, the lifestyle here is as effortless as it is enriching. Add easy bus access to Lilydale and Ringwood stations, and you have foothills living with everyday convenience beautifully covered.
