Originally one of Kalorama's early Hills cottages, Fox Hollow is a beautifully reimagined character weatherboard that honours its heritage while embracing contemporary family living. Set behind a charming picket fence on a superbly level quarter-acre allotment, this inviting residence combines period charm with thoughtfully renovated interiors, flexible accommodation and established gardens that create a private sanctuary in the heart of the Dandenong Ranges.
A wide verandah provides a warm welcome and the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee while overlooking colourful cottage gardens alive with birdlife. Inside, timeless features including elegant sash windows, soaring 10-foot ceilings, polished blackbutt timber floors, reclaimed architectural details and an original open fireplace are complemented by stylish modern updates throughout.
Designed to adapt to every stage of life, the home offers multiple living zones that allow families to spread out, entertain with ease or create dedicated spaces to work, relax or unwind.
The beautifully renovated kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring raked ceilings, quality cabinetry, a 900mm La Germania cooker and a generous butler's pantry. At the rear, an impressive garden room extends the living space, framed by oversized picture windows, a skylight and a window seat overlooking the lush surrounds. With an outdoor heater and retractable wall opening seamlessly to the garden, it's a space designed for year-round entertaining.
Accommodation is equally impressive, with a spacious main bedroom complete with a skylit walk-in robe and beautifully renovated ensuite featuring a deep soaking bath. A second robed bedroom is serviced by a stylish family bathroom, while a self-contained bungalow under the main roofline provides exceptional flexibility as guest accommodation, a teenager's retreat, home office or potential Airbnb opportunity, complete with its own bathroom and laundry facilities.
Outside, established gardens create a peaceful and welcoming setting with mature trees, seasonal blooms and an array of productive fruit trees including olive, orange, grapefruit, lime and lemon. A magnificent century-old Liquid Amber provides shade and character, while the flat allotment offers plenty of space for children, pets and outdoor entertaining.
Additional features include ducted heating, split system heating and cooling, a European laundry, single carport and garden shed.
Adding another layer of appeal is the studio. It offers flexibility, a spacious bedroom with ensuite for extended family, independent teenagers, guest accommodation, creative pursuits or income generation via rental or boutique accommodation (STCA) all become enticing possibilities.
Positioned opposite the reserve, the location offers the perfect balance of tranquility and convenience. Enjoy easy access to Kalorama Park, Destiny Point Café, the local post office, Mt Dandenong Primary School and kindergarten, while Montrose's shopping precinct is only minutes away. Public transport is within walking distance via the Route 788 bus, providing connections to Upper Ferntree Gully and Croydon Station.
Rich in character, beautifully updated and surrounded by nature, Fox Hollow offers an exceptional opportunity to embrace the timeless lifestyle the Dandenong Ranges is so well known for.
