Starting its life as one of Kalorama’s original hills cottages, this character weatherboard known as “Fox Hollow” retains original charm and authenticity combined with a contemporary makeover to the kitchen and bathrooms which will suit the needs of growing families and downsizers looking for a tree change or a flat parcel and room for multi-generations. Perfectly positioned opposite the reserve behind an alluring picket fence and gardens awash with flourishing blooms, an enticing wide verandah not only creates a welcoming façade but a place to enjoy a morning brew with the abundant birdlife that flutters among the roses, magnolias and colourful hydrangeas. Inside, you are enveloped by instant comfort, the allure of bespoke recycled/reclaimed elements and the magic of elegant sash windows, polished floors in rich blackbutt timbers, soaring 10ft high ceilings and the hearty ambience of an original open fireplace.
Location wise Kalorama offers complete peace and tranquillity with the bonus of a friendly community appeal. Enjoy being close to all the delights of the Dandenong Ranges, Kalorama Park, Destiny Point Café, local post office, Mt Dandenong Primary School and Pre-School or benefit from being well connected to all the conveniences of Montrose. You are also a short stroll to the #788 bus with access to Upper Ferntree Gully and Croydon Station.
