31 Wright Avenue, UPWEY

Screened from the street and wrapped in greenery, this Upwey home delivers the kind of privacy families crave without disconnecting you from village life. Set on approximately 1006m² in a quiet, low-traffic cul-de-sac, it has the hush and seclusion of a hills hideaway, with the station, RSL, schools, shops, sporting facilities and Dandenong Ranges National Park all close at hand.

The layout has been designed with real family flexibility in mind. At one end, the main bedroom occupies its own private wing with an enormous walk-in robe and a beautifully renovated, fully tiled ensuite featuring a rain shower and heated towel rail. Beside it, a separate lounge with toasty open fireplace and an adjoining home office create a retreat within the retreat. Built-in bench seating and storage run along one wall of the office, while treetop vistas make working from home feel decidedly less corporate. Close the sliding barn door and this entire wing can become a peaceful parents’ domain, a teenage hangout or the ultimate sleepover zone where turning up the volume is somebody else’s problem.
