There’s a certain hush here… the kind that settles in as you wander tree-lined streets where time seems to move a little slower and gardens are given the stage they deserve. Positioned within one of Mooroolbark’s most quietly revered pockets, just footsteps from the historic Bickleigh Vale Estate and walking distance to Billanook College, this is modern country style living at its finest.
Set across an expansive 3056m² behind secure auto gates, the home unfolds with warmth and intention. Polished timber floors carry you through light-filled interiors, where sash windows frame garden views that shift with the seasons, and high ceilings give everything room to breathe. The main living/meals domain leans into connection… a crackling wood heater, generous proportions, and doors that swing open to a wraparound deck that feels more like a front-row seat to your own private landscape.
The kitchen is ready for real life and a little indulgence too, with a central island for gathering, timber topped benches, a walk-in pantry that keeps the clutter at bay, and a 900mm cooker that will handle a crowd with ease.
Accommodation is beautifully considered, with three robed bedrooms on the main level, including a clever extension that houses the main suite that feels more retreat than bedroom. French doors open to the entertaining deck on two sides, sunlight streams in, and the walk-in robe and ensuite behind barn doors add a layer of everyday luxury. Bathrooms echo that same refined tone, finished with Brodware tapware, marble-topped vanities and luxe tiling, while the main bathroom centres around a freestanding bath that quietly steals the show.
At the entrance, a flexible lounge is the perfect retreat for a quiet escape or equally versatile as a large fourth bedroom or home office with its floor to ceiling storage.
And then there’s the garden which is more of a destination than a feature. North-facing and expansive, it unfolds in moments: sweeping lawns, a David Austin rose garden, shady golden ash and chestnut trees, winding pathways, a mini maze, and hidden corners made for sitting, reading, or doing absolutely nothing at all. Come spring, it puts on a performance delivering a fresh canvas of blooms and beauty.
The magnesium, solar-heated pool sits like a jewel within it all, while the practical magic is just as considered… a veggie patch, citrus trees, irrigation, and original shedding with power and charm intact. And what country style house would be complete without a fancy home for your feathery friends, fully enclosed and ready to house your isa browns in style. It’s the kind of place where you can live a little slower, a little fuller, and a lot more outdoors.
Function hasn’t been forgotten either. A triple garage with internal access, cellar/storage room, EV charger, mudroom-style laundry, powder room, ducted heating, evaporative cooling, solar panels and extensive off-street parking ensure the day-to-day runs as smoothly as the lifestyle suggests.
Position-wise, you’re close to everything without ever feeling like you are. Billanook College is within walking distance, along with local reserves and trails, while Mooroolbark Station and shops are just minutes away. The Dandenong Ranges National Park waits nearby for weekend wanderings.
This is one of those rare offerings… where the home, the land, and the location all speak the same language.
