Tucked into a whisper-quiet pocket of Belgrave's historic precinct, this elegant split-level home is rich in story, soul and beautifully considered detail. Renovated a few years ago with no expense spared, it strikes a rare balance between vintage charm and modern refinement, where every decision feels intentional and enduring.
Inside, soaring 9-foot ceilings, detailed cornicing and fretwork, gleaming wormy chestnut floors and beautiful sash windows set a refined, old-soul tone. The home unfolds across levels with an easy, family-friendly rhythm - spaces to gather, retreat and reconnect, all framed by lush leafy outlooks and a gentle sweep of the hills beyond. The expansive open-plan living zone is warmed by a Coonara-style wood fire and framed by leafy vistas and distant hills - a space made for slow mornings and long, fireside evenings.
At the heart of it all sits a chef's kitchen that balances elegance with everyday practicality. Blackwood benchtops, a farmhouse sink, integrated dishwasher and a statement 900mm Smeg cooker anchor the space, while a generous breakfast bar keeps conversation flowing. Floor-to-ceiling bifold doors peel back to an alfresco balcony, inviting in the east-facing morning sun and extending daily life outdoors - coffee at dawn, dinner as the light softens.
The privately positioned master suite is a true retreat, complete with a charming bay window box seat and a luxurious ensuite featuring a walk-in shower and floating vanity. Downstairs, a rumpus room opens to a sunny deck - perfect for kids, gaming nights, or summer cricket watching - alongside two further robed bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom. There's also ample scope for a study nook, cleverly tucked where it makes sense.
Outdoors, the gardens are a layered delight. Terraced paths wind down toward the gully, passing towering ferns, magnolia, Japanese maples, camellias, hydrangeas, a stunning Chinese paper tree, lemon and kaffir lime trees. Flat lawn areas invite trampolines or firepit evenings, while a fenced dog run with direct laundry access keeps four-legged family members happy. Kookaburras and magpies provide the soundtrack.
Set within Belgrave's historic precinct, the location is a dream for those who crave village life without the noise. Walk to the local tavern or the station for an easy city commute, wander the Sherbrooke Forest on weekends, or dip into the cafés, cinemas and boutiques of the township whenever the mood strikes. And yet, once home, the world gently fades away.
It's spacious, elegant, and deeply liveable - a home that feels both special and easy, where hills living is done beautifully well.
