With its distinctive mid-century character, beautiful established gardens and a foothills backdrop that keeps the Dandenong Ranges ever present, this much-loved Upper Ferntree Gully home has a personality all its own. Following the popular Craig Davis D8 design, it captures the hallmarks that made these homes so appealing, with abundant natural light, beautiful hardwood floors and an easy connection to the surrounding landscape. Cherry blossom, ornamental pear, woolly bush and lilac add changing colour through the seasons, ensuring there is nearly always something in bloom.
Floor-to-ceiling windows draw natural light and greenery into the living room, where a Coonara wood heater creates an inviting focal point and cosy winter ambience. From here, the home flows into the kitchen and adjoining meals zone, with a breakfast bar, stainless-steel gas cooktop and electric oven keeping everyday cooking straightforward while maintaining an easy connection between the spaces.
Three bedrooms are arranged together off the hallway, each with robe storage and serviced by the family bathroom.
Facing north, a front deck overlooks a lawned garden and makes a lovely perch for a morning coffee with the majestic hills in view, while the fully fenced backyard feels wonderfully private apart from the resident kookaburra who drops by. A variety of fig trees, a flourishing lemon, pomegranate, rosemary and kaffir lime mingle through the established planting, creating a garden that is both productive and beautiful, with plenty of room for children, pets and afternoons spent pottering among the greenery.
A garden tool shed keeps the practical bits neatly tucked away, a carport and additional driveway parking complete the picture and ducted heating, and split-system air conditioning take care of year-round comfort.
The generous block may also present scope for an extension or DPU/granny flat (STCA), offering the potential to generate additional rental income while adding another layer of flexibility to this charming foothills property.
Positioned in a peaceful Upper Ferntree Gully pocket, you’re close to Kings Park, the Glenfern Road shops, Ferntree Plaza and Ferntree Gully Woolworths, with St Joseph’s College within walking distance. Both Ferntree Gully and Upper Ferntree Gully stations are easily accessible, while the Dandenong Ranges, walking trails and foothills reserves place weekend adventure almost on the doorstep. It’s a wonderfully connected address that still carries the leafy, relaxed atmosphere this part of Melbourne is loved for.
