Wrapped in the warmth and character of a classic cedar-style home, this hillside sanctuary carries an unmistakable mountain-cabin charm. Timber, treetop views and a deep connection to the landscape create a home that feels instantly welcoming, wonderfully authentic and blissfully removed from the pace of modern life.Set amongst approximately 1,638m² of private gardens, it is a place shaped by family life and designed to evolve with it. Whether you're raising young children, accommodating teenagers seeking a little independence, welcoming extended family under one roof or simply craving room to breathe, the flexible floorplan adapts beautifully to every chapter. Comfortable, character-filled and entirely unpretentious, this is a home that invites you to kick off your shoes, slow down and stay awhile.Inside, architectural character is evident at every turn. Raked ceilings, exposed timber beams, whitewashed walls and exposed brickwork create warmth and personality, while engineered flooring adds a contemporary touch. Designed to embrace its natural surroundings, the split-level layout captures leafy outlooks from almost every room and provides two distinct living zones that allow family members to come together or spread out with ease.At the centre, the kitchen was made for entertaining. A generous island bench, farmhouse sink, 900mm Blanco cooker and servery window connecting directly to the deck make hosting effortless. Whether it's grazing platters with friends, long lunches that stretch into the afternoon or pizza nights with the family, the kitchen remains firmly connected to the action.Glass doors extend both living areas onto a vast semi-covered entertaining deck, where festoon lights, an inbuilt natural gas BBQ and elevated treetop views create the feeling of a private retreat. A Jetmaster gas log fire brings ambience to the lounge, while a Jindara wood fire, built-in bar and wine rack make the family room the natural gathering place through the cooler months.Privately positioned, the main bedroom enjoys welcome separation from the remaining accommodation and is complete with a walk-in robe and ensuite, creating a peaceful retreat at the end of the day.Outside, the lifestyle offering becomes something truly special. A solar-heated pool with adjoining gazebo, outdoor shower and eight-person gas-heated indoor spa deliver a resort-like atmosphere, while a wood-fired pizza oven, firepit zones, terraced gardens, flat play spaces, vegetable beds and a thriving chook house add layers of fun, self-sufficiency and connection to the outdoors.Adding another layer of flexibility, the lower-level fourth bedroom presents exciting potential to become a self-contained retreat with the addition of a kitchenette (STCA). With separate access and dedicated parking, it could easily cater for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, a home business, creative studio, Airbnb or supplementary income stream. Beyond this, there is scope for a 5m x 5m tiny home or cottage at the rear (STCA), creating yet another opportunity to tailor the property to your family's evolving needs.At a Glance:•\tApprox. 1,638sqm private hillside allotment in a quiet no-through road•\tSplit-level design capturing beautiful treetop outlooks•\tTwo separate living zones opening to outdoor entertaining areas•\tGourmet kitchen with island bench, farmhouse sink, 900mm Blanco cooker and servery window •\tLounge with Jetmaster gas log fire + family room with Jindara wood fire, built-in bar and wine rack•\tExpansive semi-covered entertaining deck with inbuilt natural gas BBQ•\tPrivately zoned main bedroom with ensuite and walk-in robe separated from additional bedrooms•\tFlexible fourth bedroom on lower level with self-contained conversion potential (STCA)•\tTwo additional bathrooms feature floor to ceiling tiles and rain showers•\tSkylights throughout•\tSolar-heated swimming pool with gazebo•\tEight-person gas-heated indoor spa•\tOutdoor shower and powder room servicing pool area•\tWood fire pizza oven for entertaining, firepit zones, veggie beds and chook house•\tEstablished low-maintenance gardens with mature trees, abundant birdlife and a genuine sense of seclusion•\tExceptional storage throughout the home, with ample space for growing families, hobbies, seasonal items and outdoor equipment•\tGenerous off-street parking with two separate driveways, providing flexibility and convenience•\tUndercover parking for 3+ vehicles and space for caravans, boats, trailers and multiple vehicles•\tDucted heating and split system air conditioningThe Location:•\tWalking trail access to Birdwood Avenue provides an easy stroll to town, allowing you to reach Upwey Village and Train Station in less than 10 minutes without tackling the steep hills•\tEnjoy easy access to the village atmosphere of Upwey, including cafes, restaurants, bakeries, IGA, post office, beauty services and everyday conveniences, while major shopping, dining and services in Ferntree Gully are just five minutes away•\tConveniently located close to quality schools, parks, sporting facilities, Tecoma, Belgrave, Puffing Billy and the many lifestyle attractions of the Dandenong Ranges, with the Yarra Valley approximately 30 minutes away•\tExperience the best of both worlds – a peaceful country-style lifestyle surrounded by nature, while Melbourne’s CBD is approximately 35 minutes by car or around one hour by train to Flinders Street StationDisclaimer: All information provided has been obtained from sources we believe to be accurate.
