A graceful and elegant façade and stunning European gardens imbued with beech, conifers, magnolias, Japanese Maple, weeping cherry and ornamental pear trees conceal a superb family playground that unfolds at the rear of this esteemed One Tree Hill Road address. Settled on three glorious acres that flow to Titania Crescent and with the advantage of two titles, this masterfully renovated character residence with designer looks delivers a lifestyle of relaxed comfort and class with options for working from home, home-based businesses and large and growing families. Relax by the solar-heated inground pool, potter in the veggie garden enjoying lashings of sunlight, toast marshmallows at the firepit with dreamy south-westerly views and watch the kids and pets burn off the last of their endless energy in the evening on the lush lawn.

The home which is to be sold for the first time since its extensive renovation is well positioned within ten minutes’ drive to Upper Ferntree Gully Station and walking distance to charming Sassafras village and a short stroll to Burnham Beeches - Shannon Bennett’s “The Piggery”.
It is also minutes to Ferny Creek Primary School and all the iconic attractions of the Dandenong Ranges.
