Hidden among the treetops at the end of a peaceful Kalorama cul-de-sac, this beautifully reimagined mid-century retreat offers an extraordinary lifestyle where luxury, privacy and nature exist in perfect harmony. Surrounded by lush rainforest gardens and the kind of tranquillity the city simply cannot replicate, the home is currently operating as a boutique Airbnb retreat while offering exceptional flexibility as a permanent residence, luxury weekender or premium lifestyle investment.
Originally a charming 1950s cottage, the home has been thoughtfully extended and transformed, retaining its timeless architectural character while embracing contemporary comfort and smart-home technology. Sweeping windows invite natural light throughout the open-plan living and dining spaces, where bespoke timber finishes and leafy outlooks create an immediate sense of warmth and calm, while a welcoming lounge just beyond the entry opens via sliding doors to the sun-drenched north-facing deck and garden. At its heart, the designer kitchen impresses with Caesarstone benchtops, a handcrafted Sassafras timber island, bronze mirrored splashback and premium Bosch appliances.
The generous main bedroom provides a peaceful retreat complete with a customised dressing area, plantation shutters and split-system comfort, while two additional bedrooms showcase striking recycled railway sleeper feature walls that bring warmth and texture to the home's natural palette. A beautifully appointed bathroom with rain shower completes the accommodation.
Outside, winding pathways meander through magnificent tiered gardens filled with towering tree ferns, rhododendrons, azaleas, fruit trees and herbs, leading to a private six-person spa and firepit where evenings are spent beneath a canopy of stars. Double glazing, solar power, smart-home integration, energy-efficient heating and cooling, extensive water storage and a double garage ensure modern convenience is matched by environmental efficiency.
Positioned just moments from boutique cafés, acclaimed walking trails, national parks and the charming villages of Kalorama, Mount Dandenong and Olinda, this is a rare opportunity to secure one of the Dandenong Ranges' most captivating lifestyle properties where every day feels like a private retreat, and every stay feels like a holiday.
