Description
Set on a decadent 2.5-acre parcel of land buffered by towering gums and lush ferns, this alluring lifestyle home delivers rustic elegance in a magical setting that is both inviting and comforting. Showcasing slate floors, exposed brick and raked timber lined ceilings, the earthy palette provides a soulful connection to the surrounding landscape that will bring you a lifetime of contentment. Situated on a corner block that borders Olinda Creek Road, with a serene creek running down the Barbers Rd boundary you can enjoy your own private paradise or enjoy the beauty of the Dandenong Ranges in your own back pocket.
Flaunting both formal and informal living and dining zones to meet the tone of every occasion, there’s a grand lounge and dining zone with a crackling wood fireplace for cosy ambience plus a family room flowing off the kitchen – perfect for entertaining. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors lead out to various parts of the garden including an expansive patio area - perfect for alfresco dining or simply enjoying the stunning outlook. A kitchen heart will delight with generous cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, stainless-steel oven plus wood burner combustion oven for those who enjoy cooking the old-fashioned way.
Bedrooms are thoughtfully placed for guest accommodation or privacy for the heads of the household. The main bedroom is a haven, complete with a stunning skylit ensuite and walk-in robe providing pampering aplenty. The two bathrooms and laundry have been beautifully renovated, offering modern comforts in an idyllic setting.
Stunning grounds conspire to create an absolute wonderland for young and old with mature trees including ginko and walnut, lashings of open sunny lawn space, stone retaining walls, two reflective ponds, and a veggie garden providing plenty of excuses to meander in the fresh air. When it’s time to relax, sitting by your own babbling creek with melodic birdsong as a soundtrack will quickly become a soul-soothing ritual.
Practical features have not been overlooked either. A powder room and walk-in storage cupboard offer convenience while rainwater tanks plus water rights for pumping water ensure sustainability. The zoned hydronic under-floor heating and split system provide year-round comfort.
In terms of location, Kalorama is known for its tight knit community and friendly neighbourhood appeal. You can appear to be miles away from civilisation in your own private paradise yet are only minutes to local shops, cafes, post office and all the iconic attractions of The Dandenong Ranges. You are also less than a five-minute drive to both Mt Dandenong Primary School and Pre-School or a few minutes down the mountain to all the conveniences of Montrose. Meander down the road to Kalorama Park and enjoy a picnic in the stunning grounds or enjoy brunch at Destiny Point. You are also a short stroll to the #788 bus with access to Upper Ferntree Gully and Croydon Station.
This is a home that offers more than just living space; it offers an adventurous lifestyle. Whether you're exploring the picturesque grounds, baking in the wood burner oven or simply relaxing by the fire, every day is an adventure in this beautiful lifestyle home.
