Tucked into the bowl of a peaceful no-through road, where leafy privacy and birdsong set the pace, this fully renovated Montrose home has been shaped around family life in all its wonderful forms. Kids can disappear into the pool or playground, teenagers and adult children can claim an entire upper level, sunsets spill across the western horizon, and there's enough parking, shedding and hardstand for caravans, boats, trailers, machinery or a serious home business. You can even take in city views from the backyard and driveway!
Set on approximately 2,217sqm and held by the same family for 27 years, the home offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms and two expansive living zones across two levels.
Downstairs, rich hardwood floors flow through the open-plan kitchen, meals and living domain, bringing warmth to a crisp contemporary palette. The renovated kitchen is built on an impressive scale, with sleek cabinetry, stone benchtops and a dramatic waterfall island stretching into a long breakfast bar. Induction cooking, a stone sink, oven plus microwave combination oven make it every bit as hardworking as it is social, while a gas log fire adds a cosy counterpoint through the cooler months.
Three robed bedrooms occupy their own wing, served by a clever two-way bathroom with direct access from one bedroom. Even the powder room works harder, opening to both the bathroom and the hallway.
Then the upper level raises the bar entirely.
Spanning virtually the full footprint of the home, this remarkable extension feels more like a private apartment than a traditional rumpus. A built-in bar with generous cabinetry, sink and refrigeration space could almost function as a second kitchen, with room left over for lounging, a pool table, home office, gym equipment or quiet corners of your own. Polished hardwood floors carry the sense of quality upstairs, and for teenagers, adult children or multigenerational living, the separation is exceptional.
The main bedroom also occupies this level, complemented by an enormous fitted walk-in robe and a two-way ensuite finished to a luxurious standard. Full-height tiling, twin basins set into a dark stone vanity, and a rain shower set an indulgent tone, and the bathroom can be closed off for private use or opened to guests when entertaining. Pull-down stairs reveal valuable attic storage overhead.
Step onto the balcony and the treetops open to the west, creating a front-row seat for sunsets and fireworks on celebration nights.
Outside, summer takes centre stage. The covered alfresco overlooks a sparkling inground pool framed by palms and the silhouette of the Dandenong Ranges, where black tiles create a stunning deep teal that beckons year-round. Solar heating extends the swimming season, while a shallow ledge and inbuilt seating invite you to linger rather than simply swim.
Off the meals zone, a second sheltered area with barbecue exhaust makes outdoor cooking easy, while established gardens, a generous lawn and a playground give children every reason to stay outside.
Two separate driveways provide excellent flexibility. One leads to a double carport, while the second opens to a large hardstand capable of accommodating caravans, boats, trailers, machinery, work vehicles or even a shipping container. Beyond sits a huge shed with room for approximately two more vehicles, currently configured for business use with zoned compartments, mezzanine loft storage, a sink and water connection. Solar panels and two large water tanks add further practicality.
A handy pedestrian laneway provides a shortcut to Billanook Primary without walking via Sheffield Road, while Montrose Village, parklands and the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges are all close by.
Private, substantial and almost ridiculously versatile, this is a property where family life, business, hobbies and entertaining can all coexist without competing for space.
