Inspect By Appointment
Waking here feels distinctly Australian - birdsong, filtered light through towering eucalypts, and a breeze through the treetops that feels worlds away from the city. The residence here doesn't interrupt that feeling, it's designed around it. Set on 2,000sqm (approx.) with direct access to the Gardiners Creek Trail, the home sits elevated and north-facing, angled toward its surrounds rather than away from them. The architecture features weathered timber shingles, asymmetrical gabled rooflines and clerestory windows that read as considered rather than decorative.
Living and dining open into one another beneath a dramatic vaulted roofline, with the chef's kitchen woven in and glazing that draws the outdoors in. Oversized sliding doors give way to a sprawling deck, established gardens, a pool and tennis court - space enough for a family to spread out, or entertaining across every season. The main bedroom sits apart, its walk-in wardrobe generous enough to earn the description. Upstairs, reached via the mezzanine, a separate wing holds two further bedrooms, suited to teenagers, guests, or anyone wanting their own floor, along with an office and a second living room or bedroom.
A recent renovation runs golden amber hardwood underfoot, pairs Corian and granite, with Miele appliances throughout - the kind of fine detail that shows in daily use, not just first impressions. Hydronic heating, plantation shutters and an Advantage Air zoned system handle the rest quietly.
One family has called this home for more than four decades. What they built is a rare thing in Melbourne: real privacy and real green space, minutes from Chadstone Shopping Centre, top schools, parkland and transport.
