At the end of an exceptionally quiet country style lane, the road falls away, the neighbours disappear and the valley opens wide. Sunrises lift slowly across the Warburton Ranges, sunsets wash the sky in colour, and the market gardens below become part of the view rather than simply the landscape. Held by the same family for 33 years, this much-loved Silvan home offers space, seclusion and a wonderfully adaptable way of living on 1,329m² (approx.).
Inside, two generous living zones allow family life to unfold without everyone competing for the same sofa. The open-plan family and meals area sits alongside the central kitchen, while the more formal living and dining room is warmed by a wood fire. Here, a magnificent picture window frames the ranges so beautifully that the television may find itself temporarily demoted.
Updated with stone benchtops, a gas cooktop, electric oven and Miele dishwasher, the kitchen remains practical and inviting. A contemporary splashback, modern lighting and corner pantry complete a space well positioned to connect both living zones.
The main accommodation wing includes three bedrooms, all refreshed with new engineered timber flooring. Two open to a full-length balcony across the front of the home, creating a peaceful place to take in the northerly outlook. One bedroom includes an ensuite, while a family bathroom services the remaining rooms.
Downstairs introduces another layer of flexibility. A large fourth bedroom or multipurpose room sits beside a third bathroom, making it ideal for extended family, adult children, a home business, creative studio, extra storage or games room. With generous storage adjacent and scope to add a kitchenette, it could evolve into a highly independent living zone.
From the family room, gatherings spill onto a large covered entertaining area fitted with shade blinds for year-round use. Beyond, the garden rises gently in layers, with a paved path leading to the top of the block where a covered outdoor spa claims the best seat in the house. Settle in, look across the ranges and let the day loosen its grip.
Low-maintenance mulched gardens featuring date palms, blushing brides and olive trees are complemented by broad lawns, an oversized double garage and additional parking. All moments from Silvan Primary School, Silvan Reservoir Park, townships, transport and the attractions of the Dandenong Ranges and Yarra Valley.
