12 Arbor Avenue

Ferntree Gully VIC 3156

Off the kitchen, a quiet sitting room or second living space resides for quiet moments or flexibility for families.

Each of the four spacious bedrooms has its own unique character, with an option for two master suites (one with walk-in robe delivering appeal for teenagers). Flooded in natural light, the upstairs master clad in western red cedar is an oasis of privacy for the heads of the house, complete with dual built-ins, office nook, ensuite, and its own private balcony overlooking the serene surroundings. Downstairs, the family bathroom features a relaxing spa bath and a convenient 2-way toilet.

Outdoors, the gently terraced, bushland-style gardens invite endless exploration and a connection to nature. With 3 water tanks to keep the greenery thriving, a veggie patch ready for fresh produce, and ample space for green thumbs or kids to roam and play in the fresh air, it’s a true nature haven. The adjacent national park and walking trails create a magical backdrop for family life, offering an ever-present invitation to adventure.

An alfresco deck to the side of the home is perfect for savouring your morning brew or hosting friends and family overlooking the gardens alive with the song of native birdlife, including the cheerful cackle of kookaburras, and if you’re lucky, a meandering echidna.

Ample parking is catered for in the double garage and powered workshop/studio, with water connection. Additional off street driveway parking provided with allocated bays.

Superbly situated close to St Joseph’s College, Boronia K12 College, both Boronia and Ferntree Gully shopping conveniences and train stations, the iconic 1000 Steps, Ferntree Gully Quarry Reserve and buses.

This home is a sanctuary of natural beauty, abundant space, and convenience, perfectly suited to families who value lifestyle, charm, and a unique connection to nature.
