Introduced by imposing black steel automatic gates, this Montrose residence instantly declares its presence. Framed by sweeping lawns and a long, tree-lined driveway, the setting at the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges feels both exclusive and deeply connected to nature. Spanning approximately 1.5 acres, this is a home that embraces scale - not just in its proportions, but in its possibilities.
The design itself is a study in contrasts: split-level and contemporary, with rich hardwood floors upstairs, cool polished concrete underfoot downstairs, and fresh new carpet cushioning each upstairs bedroom. Across two lavish levels, the home has been curated for multigenerational living - grandparents, adult children, or even Airbnb guests can cohabitate with ease while still enjoying privacy and independence.
Upstairs, a sense of indulgence greets you at every turn. A mirrored feature wall introduces the parent’s retreat, which flows into a grand master suite with enviable wardrobes and a glam ensuite dressed in floor-to-ceiling tiles. Down a rear hall, a chic barn door slides open to reveal two additional children’s bedrooms with a walk-in or built-in robe, serviced by a sleek bathroom.
The open plan lounge and dining domain is the dramatic centrepiece - raked ceilings, a trio of skylights, and a brick-framed fireplace anchor the space, while panoramic backyard and Yarra Ranges vistas steal the show. Life flows seamlessly onto a covered balcony and sunlit deck where you can savour the view or watch the kids in their cubby. At the heart, a sleek stone-topped kitchen impresses with a waterfall-edge breakfast bar, stainless-steel appliances, appliance hutch and abundant storage including a display for your wine.
On the lower level, flexibility shines. A fully self-contained studio with its own access, kitchenette, stunning bathroom, and alfresco delivers perfect independence, while the adjoining rumpus zone sprawls into two additional bedrooms, a study, and a storeroom that steps out to yet another patio. Separating the two zones is a lavishly sized laundry with abundant space and storage.
Outdoors, space abounds with a firepit zone to enjoy starry nights, fruit trees, ample room for chooks, goats, or even a pony. Practicalities include split system air conditioning, 8,000 litres of water tank storage, a large workshop, double garage, double carport, and shed.
All of this within walking distance to Montrose Village shops and cafés, Hahndorf’s Chocolaterie, playgrounds, schools and trails, plus a short drive to both arterial roads and the Hills’ renowned eateries. This is foothills living at its grandest – a home that adapts as beautifully as the seasons themselves.
