70 Bailey Road, MOUNT EVELYN

Tucked behind secure electric gates where the world seems to gently fade away, this Mount Evelyn haven captures that elusive sense of space and calm that so many crave but so few find. Here, life moves to a slower rhythm - birdsong replaces traffic noise, and the day feels a little longer, a little lighter, a little more yours.

Inside, a warm welcome awaits. Gleaming timber floors and high ceilings lead you into an open-plan living and meals domain anchored by the toasty glow of a wood heater - perfect for winter nights spent fireside. The kitchen is a social delight, combining stone benches, soft-close drawers, and a 900mm gas cooker with a breakfast bench that naturally draws everyone together. From here, step out to an all-season outdoor entertaining space - a deck for summer dinners under festoon lights and a firepit zone for marshmallows and stories once the sun dips low.
