44-48 Barbers Road

Kalorama VIC 3766

The two-bedroom circa 1940s home is very much a work in progress, but the bones, outlook and opportunity are compelling. The front sunroom, with timber floors, looks towards Silvan Dam and connects with a simple kitchen and meals area featuring gas cooking. At the rear, a second living space is warmed by a built-in wood fire.

A beautifully renovated bathroom introduces contemporary polish, while the main bedroom includes a partially completed ensuite with plumbing in place. French doors open the possibility of reinstating or rebuilding the deck, and dual-aspect windows make the most of the views.

Alternatively, use the home as a studio or cottage and build your dream home elsewhere on the block (STCA).

Outside, a paved patio is already perfectly placed for quiet moments in the sun and barbecues with the dam shimmering beyond.

There is still wildness at the rear of the block, and plenty left to shape, but much of the hardest work has already been done. Wombats wander through, birdsong fills the air and the garden feels alive in a way that only the hills can manage. Here, you do not need to leave home to take a walk in nature. You simply choose a path and see where the garden takes you.

Kaloramas friendly community and proximity to cafs, trails and schools ensure the best of both worlds: your own forest retreat and a vibrant hills lifestyle. Enjoy being close to all the delights of the Dandenong Ranges, Kalorama Park, Destiny Point Caf, Silvan Mountain Bike Park, the local post office, Mt Dandenong Primary School and Pre-School, while remaining well connected to the conveniences of Montrose, Mount Evelyn and Monbulk.
