Misty mornings, birdsong drifting through the trees, and the quiet presence of the forest just across the road - life here unfolds at nature’s pace. Positioned on a peaceful, low-traffic road just off prestigious Falls Road, this extensively renovated Kalorama home offers a true hideaway, where the everyday feels a little calmer and the outside world gently fades away.
Inside, the home reveals a warm, welcoming rhythm with a defined sense of space and light. Spotted gum floors guide you through the split-level layout; while soaring raked ceilings and clerestory windows draw your eye upward to glimpses of treetops beyond. The front lounge and dining zone invites slow evenings by the Blaze wood heater, perhaps with a glass from the bar nook within arm’s reach - equal parts cosy and quietly indulgent.
The kitchen sits separately yet connected through a chic barn door, overlooking a relaxed family and meals area that naturally becomes the hub of daily life. Updated with a 900mm SMEG cooker, dishwasher and a thoughtfully designed pantry with appliance cupboard, it’s as practical as it is inviting. A bay window frames the greenery outside, making even the simplest moments feel grounded in the landscape.
Slide open the doors and the living expands outward. A generous covered alfresco with pitched roof sets the stage for year-round entertaining – balmy summer barbeques, Christmas gatherings, or simply a quiet morning with coffee as the garden wakes around you.
Accommodation is thoughtfully zoned. The main bedroom enjoys a front-row seat to the forest, with floor-skimming windows capturing misty outlooks best appreciated from the comfort of bed, alongside a walk-in robe and ensuite. Two additional bedrooms are tucked privately on a lower level, serviced by a beautifully updated bathroom.
Outside, the gardens feel like something discovered rather than designed. Meandering paths wind through towering ferns, hydrangeas and natives, while a flat lawn offers space for play or practical use. Wildlife wanders through - wombats, lyrebirds, echidnas - adding to the sense that this is more than a home, it’s a habitat.
All just moments from the magic of Olinda Falls and the very best of the Dandenong Ranges, this is a place to exhale, settle in, and stay awhile.
