48 The Avenue, Ferntree Gully, Vic 3156

Like a fine wine, this grand family home has beautifully aged over a century, encased by lavish grounds and a location that is walking distance to shops, the station and quality schools including Heritage College. Its elevated, split-level design offers extensive views across the outer eastern suburbs, sweeping over the Dandenong Ranges, and capturing a spectacular north-westerly light show at sunset as the urban landscape twinkles to life. All of this while maintaining its privacy, a rare combination perched at the top of The Avenue’s highest point. Combining vintage art deco charm with modern comforts and functionality, this home exudes charisma and offers something truly magical to those who step inside.

Extensive glazing frames lush garden vistas and doors open to the deck adding to the joie de vivre.

The functional, well-designed kitchen will delight home chefs and entertainers alike, featuring stone benchtops, Franke cooker, ample cupboard space and island bench. A separate dining area spills to an all-season barbeque deck that gazes out across the glorious established gardens. Entertain friends, enjoy the outdoors, take a break while gardening - this is a whole other 'room' of the house. A wood fired pizza oven adds further appeal for entertainers who imagine their garden brimming with family and friends.

When the warm swimming days of summer come around, you'll appreciate the sparkling 3m deep inground pool, discretely located behind high privacy fences complemented by a sauna and a shady gazebo with plenty of room for outdoor furniture if lounging beside the pool is more your thing.
