**INSPECTION BY PRIVATE APPOINTMENT ONLY - ALL ENQUIRIES MUST CONTAIN A PHONE NUMBER**
Privately nestled among the treetops, this beautifully preserved 1940s residence is a rare offering where timeless character meets thoughtful modern refinement. Surrounded by a tranquil kookaburra-filled forest and enjoying a captivating elevated outlook, this is a home where everyday living feels calmer, richer and deeply connected to nature. From the moment you arrive, there's an unmistakable sense of peace, a home with soul, warmth and enduring charm.
More than just a residence, this is a sanctuary ready to welcome its next chapter. The manicured street presence creates an enchanting introduction, with a sculpted entrance hedge designed by Cloudehill's Jeremy Francis leading you inside. A charming bench seat at the front invites locals to pause and admire sweeping city views and breathtaking sunsets that bathe the home in golden light as the village comes home for the evening. At the rear, the gardens unfold into meandering pathways that lead to studios and sheds, a dedicated chicken haven, and richly layered plantings of camellias, azaleas, roses, hydrangeas, hellebores and tree ferns, delivering colour and texture through every season.
Inside, the home's heritage details shine through elegant sash windows, leadlight doors and classic dado panelling, while carefully considered updates ensure modern comfort without compromising character. It's a home designed to ground you, offering calm, balance and a genuine sense of belonging.
Polished timber floors guide you through a traditional yet flexible layout, featuring two generous bedrooms plus a cosy front lounge that easily functions as a third bedroom, complete with an original brick fireplace. The contemporary kitchen, rich in earthy tones, is anchored by an island bench and glass splashback, flowing effortlessly into a light-filled open-plan living and dining zone. Vaulted ceilings, clerestory windows, built-in shelving and a gas log fire create an inviting heart of the home, with stunning forest views that turn everyday moments into something special.
Outdoor living is equally captivating. The elevated alfresco deck is ideal for entertaining, family celebrations or quiet morning rituals as sunlight filters through the gumtrees and birdsong fills the air. The evergreen garden sanctuary beyond offers a private oasis, a wonderland for children, a haven for gardeners and a peaceful retreat for dreamers.
Enhancing the home's versatility is an impressive array of sheds and studio spaces. A self-contained studio with its own entrance, bathroom and alfresco area presents exciting options for a home business, guest accommodation or income potential via an approved Airbnb. Additional shedding provides abundant storage and creative space rarely found in a property of this nature.
Perfectly positioned between Olinda and Mount Dandenong villages, the home enjoys one of the area's most coveted lifestyle locations. Just a five-minute stroll in either direction brings you to vibrant café culture, boutique shopping and acclaimed eateries, while still returning home to complete peace and privacy. This soul-soothing sanctuary offers the best of both worlds, village convenience wrapped in forest tranquillity, and promises a lifetime of enjoyment for its fortunate new owners.
