Elevated along a quiet slip lane and wrapped in almost 1.5 acres of professionally designed native gardens, this expansive Upwey home has been shaped around one simple idea: let the landscape do the talking.
Freshly painted inside and out, the interiors pair a calm neutral palette and updated window furnishings with polished hardwood floors and floor-to-ceiling glazing, allowing treetops, birdlife and shifting light to take centre stage. From almost every room, the outlook draws you back outside.
A sandstone entrance introduces a home thoughtfully arranged across two levels. On the ground floor, the main bedroom wakes to stunning treed views straight from the pillow, complemented by a sumptuous walk-in dressing room and a refreshed ensuite with rain shower and double vanity.
Two further bedrooms sit nearby, while the main bathroom is a sanctuary of its own, its deep soaking bath positioned to take in the greenery beyond. A second living zone, a laundry with drying cupboard and internal access to the large carport complete this level.
Upstairs, the home opens into a light-filled living and dining domain anchored by an open fireplace, with decks on either side. To the west, an elevated balcony catches glowing sunsets through the trees, while at the rear, an all-seasons covered deck with café blinds sets the scene for Christmas gatherings, birthday celebrations and relaxed weekends with friends, all against a breathtaking forest backdrop.
The generous kitchen keeps pace with porcelain benchtops, breakfast bar seating, double Miele ovens with steam and pyrolytic functions, a warming drawer, Bosch 900mm gas cooktop and walk-in pantry, while a built-in drinks cabinet keeps favourite bottles close at hand when guests arrive.
Also on this level, a sizeable bedroom with enormous attic storage offers instant teenage appeal, with room to create a walk-in robe or study nook. A powder room adds convenience, and a spacious home office with robes could easily become a fifth bedroom.
Outside, the gardens are a work of art. Designed by Living Senses and inspired by the unfurling form of a fern frond, the landscape unfolds as a series of circular garden rooms linked by paths and stonework, each with its own mood and purpose.
There's an upper firepit zone, alfresco areas, a quiet birdwatching seat, a water feature visible from the main bedroom and a flat lawn for children and ball games. Being in these open, sunny gardens invites you to slow down, breathe deeper and watch the landscape shift through the seasons.
Planting has been carefully layered for wildlife, from low grasses and shrubs for small birds to taller species for larger visitors, drawing king parrots, rosellas, black cockatoos, kookaburras, butterflies and bees. A productive garden adds figs, plums, lemons, peaches, currants, herbs and a wicking veggie patch.
Tranquil and secluded yet beautifully connected, the property sits at the gateway to the Dandenong Ranges, with Upwey Village, the station and the RSL just a stroll downhill.
A home for family life, garden life and the kind of everyday closeness to nature that soon becomes impossible to live without.
