Some homes impress with their scale. Others with their views. Observatory Manor manages to do both while combining bespoke design, quality craftsmanship and exceptional attention to detail.
Positioned high atop Mount Dandenong on a beautifully located 1572sqm allotment with dual frontage and convenient access via Fraser Road, this one-owner Storybook Homes residence offers a rare combination of privacy, luxury and breathtaking outlooks, all within an hour of Melbourne's CBD.
By day, the views stretch across Port Phillip Bay and Melbourne's skyline. By night, the city lights create a spectacular backdrop, with even the MCG visible on clear evenings.
Designed to maximise its remarkable setting, the split-level floorplan offers a balance of open living, family connection and private retreats. Hardwood floors milled from timber harvested on the property feature throughout, complemented by wainscoting, timber-lined ceilings and handcrafted finishes. Even the exterior light fittings were individually forged by a local blacksmith.
The upper living domain features soaring cathedral ceilings, chandeliers, generous living and dining zones, a Nectre wood fire and a window seat positioned to capture the views.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen has been designed for those who love to cook and entertain, featuring black benchtops, matching appliances, a Falcon Classic 110 dual-fuel cooker, pot filler and extensive preparation space. The adjoining dining area provides the perfect setting for family meals and entertaining.
A few steps above, a spacious family room opens to a private balcony overlooking the skyline. A bar nook and fully equipped theatre room complete this impressive level.
The accommodation is equally well considered. The privately positioned main suite occupies its own wing and includes a fully tiled ensuite with rain shower, two office/hobby spaces and an adjoining living zone. Across the upper levels, three additional bedrooms and a retreat area are serviced by a fully tiled bathroom with marble-topped vanity, deep bath and oversized rain shower.
Outside, a gas-heated shipping container pool, expansive entertaining deck and covered pergola create an outstanding space for entertaining. Provincial-inspired gardens, manicured English box hedging and established garden beds complete the setting.
Walking distance to SkyHigh and moments from many of the Dandenong Ranges' most popular attractions, Observatory Manor delivers an exceptional lifestyle in one of the region's most sought-after locations.
