Privately nestled behind double gates on just over half an acre (2770m² approx.), this split-level Upwey escape is a harmonious blend of modernised charm and French-inspired warmth - a haven for multigenerational families, nature lovers, creatives, and those who dream of garden-wrapped serenity. Originally a red cedar classic, the home has been thoughtfully updated with a contemporary exterior palette that complements a soulful interior of polished timber floors, French doors, and garden-framing picture windows that fill every room with light.
Enter via the sun-dappled front deck and step into the heart of the home - a relaxed family/meals domain that spills onto a side alfresco, perfect for summer BBQs as the scent of magnolias lingers in the air. Just a step above, the living/dining zone takes centre stage, anchored by a kitchen designed for connection, featuring a social breakfast bar, gas cooktop, stainless steel oven and dishwasher, and garden views so captivating they might delay dinner. Seamless indoor/outdoor flow is again evident with glass doors that swing open to the entertaining terrace.
The floorplan is beautifully flexible. On the lower level, three robed bedrooms - including one with its own ensuite - share a stylish skylit hallway with soaring ceilings and a second bathroom, ideal for teens, guests, or multigenerational living.
And upstairs? That’s where the magic unfolds. The attic-style main retreat is tucked beneath angled ceilings, bathed in light, and complete with a generous lounging zone, sunny home office or gym nook, walk-in robe, and ensuite - a dreamy sanctuary for parents, creatives, or those craving quiet.
The garden is a living artwork - ever-changing with the seasons. Think purple pontic rhododendrons, camellias, hydrangeas, salvias, magnolias, viburnum, canna lily, a 30-year-old fig tree, and an avocado tree ready to feed your brunch habit. Birds chatter, an echidna occasionally waddles by, and a wise old owl calls it home too. There’s a veggie patch for homegrown harvests, space for children to roam upon lush rolling lawn, and golden morning light that filters through tree ferns – the perfect accompaniment to your first coffee of the day.
With ducted heating, split system comfort, oodles of storage including ample under-ceiling and under-house zones, flat driveway parking and a single carport, this is a home that works hard behind the scenes while letting you live softly in the foreground.
Ideally located just a short stroll from Upwey Recreation Reserve, local football, tennis and bowls clubs, and walking distance to Upwey High, Upwey Primary and Upwey Preschool - with the vibrant shops and train station of Upwey Main Street also conveniently close by.
