5 Timberglades Road, MONTROSE

There's something wonderfully optimistic about this little 1950s classic. Sunday afternoons by the sparkling pool, timber floors glowing underfoot, the backyard ringing with play, and lazy evenings drifting from the deck to the gazebo. Fully renovated and immaculately presented, this three-bedroom Montrose home already feels fresh, easy and ready to love, yet comes with something even rarer: approved plans and permits to transform it into a substantial five-bedroom, two-bathroom family residence.

Set on approximately 886sqm at the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges, the home retains much of its original mid-century personality, from the chimney standing proudly above the roofline to decorative ceiling cornices and sash windows, all balanced by a calm neutral palette and contemporary finishes.
