Poised amongst the lush leafiness of Kalorama, where the air is fresh and the north-easterly light filters gently through the treetops, this enchanting home captures the kind of calm that’s hard to find. Brimming with charm and a touch of whimsy, it’s a place that feels effortlessly liveable - relaxed yet full of character, like it’s always belonged here.
From the moment you turn into the rose-lined drive and catch sight of the cherry blossom rustling in the breeze, the tone is set for something magical. Set on just under 900m² of mountain-flat land (a true local rarity), the home balances practicality and beauty with ease - offering flat parking at both the top and bottom of the drive, framed by gardens that hum with life.
Step through the double French doors and feel the warmth of timber floors underfoot, the air tinged with the comforting aroma of woodsmoke from the Coonara heater. The galley style kitchen connects seamlessly with the meals area and features a robust 900mm upright electric oven with 5-burner gas cooktop - ready for Sunday roasts, birthday cakes, and everything in between.
Four bedrooms and two bathrooms are spread across two levels, offering flexibility for families, guests, or creative pursuits. The main bedroom showcases a striking Art Deco ceiling rose, while downstairs a generous study area and fourth bedroom (with built-in bench and pendant lighting) pair beautifully with a second bathroom and laundry - ideal for teens, extended family, or a studio-style retreat.
Step out to a glorious semi-covered, wraparound deck that soaks in dreamy vistas - the perfect spot for morning coffee or a sundowner as dusk settles over the ranges. Down a few steps, a shady alfresco area and firepit zone create a natural gathering place for family celebrations, lazy weekends, or late-night conversations under the stars.
Enjoyed from every angle, meandering gardens reveal a kaleidoscope of forest pansy, magnolia, fuchsia, Japanese maple, lush tree ferns and rhododendrons - all joined by the sweet scent of jasmine that lingers in the air. Lemon and apple trees nod to the homegrown life, while kids can roam, explore, and enjoy a true “fresh-air childhood”. Add a traditional Tylo sauna crafted from cedar and ironbark, and you have a mountain haven that celebrates slow living in every sense.
Moments to Kalorama Park, Destiny Point Café, local schools, walking trails and the charming villages of the Dandenong Ranges, this is a home that feels loved, lived in, and entirely alive with possibility.
