Set behind dual automatic gates on a breathtaking over half acre, The Oaks is a property of heritage and heart - a 1949 original beautifully reimagined for modern comfort and multi-generational living. Enveloped by stunning evergreen gardens and presided over by a magnificent 130-year-old oak tree, it’s a place where history whispers through the leaves and each season paints its own masterpiece.
Inside a sprawling single level floor plan unfolds with grace and generosity. Many original features remain – casement windows, Jarrah and hardwood floors and a charming stone fireplace, ceiling roses and timber fretwork throughout while thoughtful extensions and renovations blend seamlessly respecting the home’s timeless character.
The layout flows effortlessly from one inviting space to the next: a cosy fireside lounge and elegant dining room for refined gatherings; a sunlit sitting room that gazes over the gardens; and a grand family, meals and rumpus domain where daily life hums with warmth and connection.
At its heart, the social kitchen brings traditional craftsmanship and contemporary flair into perfect harmony. Granite benchtops, luxe Ilve cooking appliances, an impressive walk-in appliance cupboard and a deep walk-in pantry create a space made for cooking, chatting and grazing - glass of wine in hand. French doors open wide to the outdoors, connecting seamlessly to a verandah, covered alfresco and sparkling solar-heated pool - your own private resort retreat where the soundtrack is birdsong and rustling leaves.
With four well-proportioned bedrooms and three beautifully styled bathrooms, the home adapts gracefully to family growth or multigenerational living. Two bedrooms feature ensuite access - one a sumptuous master suite with spa ensuite, walk-in dressing room with pull-out trouser drawers and glorious garden views; the other privately positioned with a walk-in robe, ideal for guests or extended family.
Among the gardens, two detached studios offer enviable flexibility - perfect as home offices, gyms, creative spaces or teenage escapes. The property continues to delight with hidden nooks, a chook house, vegetable patch and an irrigation system keeping everything lush and thriving.
For tradesmen, car lovers or hobbyists, there’s undercover and secure parking for up to ten vehicles across multiple garages and carports, plus abundant external storage for tools, toys and treasures. Stroll the grounds and you’ll discover charming relics from the past - an original garage complete with vintage chain pull toilet, coach-house door, home office and laundry and the old “cottage” nameplate now adorning one of the studio doors.
The gardens are a living tapestry of texture and colour, with meandering paths that lead past bird’s nest ferns of some age, camellias, rhododendrons, azaleas, Mediterranean spurge, agapanthus and strelitzia. Out front, century-old roses mingle with a magnificent copper beech, magnolias, birds of paradise, ornamental pears and a stately blue spruce, while bulbs burst forth in a jubilant show of spring colour. As day slips into evening, you’re serenaded by the chorus of frogs at night, and when the leaves fall, the twinkling urban lights appear through the branches - a gentle reminder that this private sanctuary sits just moments from the world beyond.
Comfort, efficiency and peace of mind are assured year-round with ducted heating, evaporative cooling, multiple split-system air conditioners, ducted vacuum, 22 solar panels and wired camera surveillance and wired alarm systems.
Positioned in one of Croydon’s most peaceful and tightly held crescents, this prestigious pocket offers the best of both worlds - serenity and convenience. Moments from Croydon Hills and Yarrunga reserves, Yarra Valley Grammar, Luther College and McAdam Square cafés, you’re also just minutes from Eastland, Croydon Station and the Yarra Valley beyond. It’s the kind of address that lets you slow down without missing a thing.
