Welcome to 'Fairview', a place of breathtaking beauty, where every corner tells a story.
Set on an acre of established gardens at the foothills of Mount Dandenong, it's the kind of property that feels both grand and grounded, where family living is made easy.
The Victorian-period home has a timeless grace, with a natural flow between formal rooms, relaxed living areas and spaces made for entertaining. The bedrooms are lavishly proportioned, and the ground-floor office offers a dedicated base for those who work from home.
Outside, the magic continues across grounds that tell the tale of family life, from gatherings on the sprawling deck and children learning to ride their bikes or play sport on the tennis court, to special celebrations beneath the gazebo built for a family wedding. Private, polished and filled with heart, 'Fairview' offers space for the family to grow in a setting they will cherish.
Nestled in the corner of a no-through grove that branches off the Tourist Road, it is only a short stroll from Montrose Village, where you'll find bus services, specialty stores, an IGA supermarket, cafes, a chocolaterie, takeaway outlets, a library, scenic trails, parks, playgrounds and sporting clubs, with pre, primary and secondary schools, major arterials and everything the Dandenong Ranges are famous for all within easy reach.
