The beauty and privacy of living nestled against the Dandenong Ranges National Park evokes a sense of serenity and oneness with nature. It is in the highly sought-after Sheffield Road precinct atop a very private acre where inspired architect design showcases a charming Georgian influenced country home. Yet it is close to Montrose’s amenities and just 45 minutes from the City.

Prominent French shutters add beauty, heat and light control to the windows of the unique double storey timber residence where timeless elegance is as serene as the soft ticking clock. Superb Jarrah floorboards, Cedar internal doors and brass fittings complement the charm of the sitting room and formal dining rooms. A Jetmaster open fire is aided by efficient hydronic heating throughout. Ceilings are high, bedrooms upstairs are large and functional and the glorious family bathroom (with drying cupboard) adjoins the master bedroom proudly boasting city skyline views.

Kauri pine benchtops are featured in the authentic country kitchen along with a monster dresser and modern Miele appliances back up the fantastic Bosky gas slow combustion stove. A cosy sitting/meals area and great walk-in pantry make this kitchen the daily hub. By the patio is a hand carved sandstone fountain, there’s a 22,000lt water tank plumbed for laundry, toilets (powder room) and garden use and a carport with storage facilities and space for more cars. Nothing compares to the individuality and charm of this unique retreat.
