The Brief: Peaceful Living Amongst the Treetops

Its Addressed:
· Spacious two-bedroom home surrounded by leafy garden views
· Large covered entertaining deck overlooking the treetops
· Generous living, renovated laundry and easy-care updates throughout
Surrounded by greenery and set well back from the road for an added sense of privacy and security, this inviting two-bedroom home feels wonderfully removed from the everyday. Birdsong, treetop outlooks and established gardens set the scene, whilst a spacious interior and large covered deck make it an easy place to settle in, slow down and enjoy the surrounds.
Inside, the generous living area immediately makes an impression. A soaring angular ceiling adds to the sense of space, with hybrid flooring bringing a fresh, easy-care finish underfoot. At its heart, a combustion fireplace creates a warm and welcoming focal point for winter nights, whilst the leafy outlook provides a calming backdrop throughout the seasons.
Flowing from here, the meals area sits alongside a well-appointed kitchen finished with stone benchtops, a glass splashback, soft-close drawers and plenty of cupboard space. Stainless steel appliances and a dishwasher take care of the practicalities, with the open connection between the kitchen, meals and living spaces making everyday life feel relaxed and uncomplicated.
Both bedrooms are comfortably proportioned with built-in robes and carpet underfoot, sharing a modern family bathroom and separate toilet. The laundry has also been renovated, adding another fresh and functional space to a home that has been thoughtfully updated for easy day-to-day living.
Outside is where the setting really comes into its own. The covered entertaining deck looks out across the surrounding treetops, with a ceiling fan and strip heaters allowing the space to be enjoyed well beyond the warmer months. Down in the garden, established greenery and a grove of Silver Birch trees create a beautiful natural backdrop, whilst a separately fenced dog area with a lockable gate and shade gives four-legged family members a secure space of their own.
Set within the leafy foothills of the Dandenong Ranges, the home puts nature and everyday convenience within easy reach. Bus route 755 is approximately 200m away, with St Bernadette's Primary School around 900m, The Basin Primary School approximately 1.27km and Boronia K-12 College around 1.54km from home. Local shops and cafés are approximately 1km away, with Alchester Village and Boronia Junction nearby for further shopping and dining. Boronia's train services are a short drive away, whilst the walking trails and natural surrounds of the Dandenong Ranges are ready to explore close to home.
