At the base of Mt Dandenong this striking residence on approximately 2,750sqm is a rare surviving example of Merchant Builders' remarkable architecture. Offered for the first time in 55 years, it showcases an intact mid-century aesthetic, revealing soaring ceilings with Oregon beams, dramatic angles and the generous proportions that define the bold "Attic House" design of the late 1960s. Walls of glass draw the landscape inward, while the warm timber structure creates a calm presence. Everything about the home feels intentional and deeply connected to the land, from its indoor-outdoor flow to the way each space captures light and greenery. This is one of those unique properties that truly defines a place and a period, and it now awaits the next custodian to continue its story. The grounds offer space, tranquillity and future possibility, whether cherished as one magnificent family estate or considered for subdivision (STCA). Rich in architectural pedigree, this is an opportunity to secure a home that is both significant and deeply inviting. Its prime Montrose position sits within walking distance of bus stops, local shops and eateries, a post office, vet, library, parks, trails, pre and primary schools, sporting clubs and medical centres, with excellent secondary schools, major shopping centres and transport hubs just a short drive away.
- Beyond the expansive front lawns and gardens with mountain vistas, double timber doors welcome you into an impressively wide entry

- Three bedrooms all include robes, a fourth is easily created by reinstating a plaster wall as the extended dining area was originally a bedroom

- Gas ducted heating throughout ensures warmth in the cooler seasons
- An oversized double garage/workshop with dual roller doors offers excellent storage and room for projects
- Additional parking and driveway access to the rear enhances convenience
- The potential for subdivision (STCA) affords flexibility for future plans or long-term investment
