Elevated among the trees to capture gorgeous easterly views towards the Warburton Ranges, this bespoke four-bedroom home makes mornings feel like something worth getting out of bed for. Watch the first light filter through the landscape, coffee in hand and birdsong in the air, before the house shifts effortlessly into family mode. Architecturally designed and rich in Australian hardwood, it combines natural warmth, contemporary comfort and an extraordinary under-house workshop that takes working from home - or storing every tool and toy imaginable - to another level.
Wrapped in a striking Colorbond exterior, the home feels entirely at ease in its leafy Monbulk setting. Inside, Australian hardwood timbers bring texture and character to the open-plan living zone, where spotted gum floors gleam, a built-in wood fire promises crackling winter warmth and floor skimming windows frame the landscape. Integrated speakers allow the soundtrack to follow the mood, while zoned ducted heating and air conditioning keep every corner comfortable throughout the seasons.
The stone kitchen is both beautiful and brilliantly social, featuring a waterfall island bench with breakfast-bar seating, luxe 900mm Falcon cooker and walk-in pantry. It is the kind of space where pancakes are flipped on Sunday mornings, friends gather with a glass in hand and conversations continue long after dinner is done.
Wide openings extend the living area onto an impressive east-facing entertaining deck, sheltered beneath an over-height roof that captures cool summer breezes. Built-in lighting and separately zoned speakers make it equally suited to after work wind downs and lively nights with friends - complete with different music playing inside and out, because not everyone shares the same playlist.
Accommodation is housed off a hallway with four bedrooms serviced by a decadent bathroom. The main bedroom features an ensuite, walk-in robe and deck access. Both bathrooms are fully tiled and feature deep soak baths, rain showers and custom ironbark topped vanities.
At the rear, a dedicated fire-pit area creates another inviting place to gather beneath the stars. Corten steel edging brings a polished architectural touch to the landscaping, while generous lawn and outdoor space gives children and pets plenty of room to roam.
Then comes the feature tradies, business owners and serious hobbyists will struggle to resist: an enormous powered under-house workshop measuring approximately 8m x 20m with 3-phase power. With a little imagination, this area could also be converted into an extra living space (STCA).
Add masses of off-street parking, a double carport, and under deck carport and this is a property designed for people who need their home to work just as hard as they do.
Distinctive, beautifully crafted and exceptionally versatile, this is hills living designed around both pleasure and purpose. It is a home with soul, substance and room to do much more.
