INSPECTION BY APPOINTMENT ONLY
This soulful Mount Dandenong residence encourages you to exhale the moment you arrive. Set upon approximately 3,040 Sqm of rambling gardens on one of the mountain’s most coveted streets, this split-level, light-filled sanctuary blends a charmed mid-century ambience with functional modern amenity, wrapped in birdsong, breezes and ever-changing garden outlooks.
Raked ceilings, exposed beams, clerestory windows and timber-lined walls give the home a warm, grounded soul - timeless, character-rich, and utterly authentic. The sunken lounge invites evenings by the fire with a glass of something special from the temperature-perfect cellar, while the meals area - earthy, welcoming and anchored by a spectacular picture window - feels like a living painting of shifting seasonal foliage. Morning coffee here is meditative; dinner gatherings are atmospheric.
The granite-topped kitchen is both beautiful and practical: Miele appliances, walk-in pantry, breakfast bar and a thoughtful marriage of natural textures - stone, timber, brick. From here, doors connect two living zones to the wrap-around alfresco decks - open-air extensions of the home that capture a sweep of the hills in winter and a full spectrum of colour throughout autumn, summer and spring.
Sleeping accommodation is wonderfully generous, with three expansive bedrooms including two with ensuites and two with walk-in robes to suit multigenerational living, teens, adult children or frequent guests. The upper-level bedroom, set among the treetops with a study nook to cater for remote workdays, feels like its own private hideaway - a quiet place to begin and end the day with stillness.
Outside, the gardens are an adventure - meandering stone-lined pathways, picturesque seating nooks, lush hedging at every turn, rolling lawn terraces and curated plantings from cottage favourites to hills classics and exquisite flowering waratahs (including one of the largest in the hills). Kids can explore, adults can unwind, and wildlife - from kookaburras to fairy wrens to lyrebirds - brings nature to your doorstep. Secondary access from Cambridge Road and abundant parking further elevate the practicality.
All this - mere minutes from Burke’s Lookout, Sky High, schools, buses, cafés, walking trails, and iconic hills attractions. A home for dreamers, creators, families and those craving peace without isolation - this is hills living at its most poetic.
