Upper Ferntree Gully VIC 3156

Some homes just feel good the moment you walk in. Maybe its the timber accents that glow with warmth, the northern sun spilling through wide windows, or the way the home gently blends with the natural landscape. Or maybe it's knowing this home has been loved for 37 years by the same family - gently evolving over time but always holding onto its heart.Originally a modest 9-square Western Red Cedar cottage, the home has grown with grace. Set on over a quarter of an acre, two thoughtful extensions have added space without compromising character. Now, its a generous four-bedroom, two-living-room sanctuary with split-level charm and leafy outlooks from nearly every window. And the location? Hard to beat - nestled in a peaceful pocket just a 10-minute stroll from Upwey Village and train station, with the 1000 Steps and Ferntree Gully National Park practically on your doorstep.Inside, every detail tells a story. In the kitchen, reclaimed bench timber - once floorboards from an old railway station - anchor the space with rustic charm, paired beautifully with a full suite of premium Smeg appliances. Cypress pine floors carry you across two separate yet connected living zones: a family room warmed by a Eureka built-in wood fire, and on the opposite side of the kitchen, a second living and dining domain bathed in natural light from soaring clerestory windows. Both zones open to the front deck, with bifold doors from the meals area inviting effortless indoor-outdoor flow and easy entertaining.Tucked into its own private wing, the main suite is a true retreat - lavishly sized with a walk-in robe, a double shower ensuite, and french door access to the deck where you can soak up calming National Park views. Three additional bedrooms are located on the upper level, including bedroom 2 with ensuite-effect access to the two-way family bathroom, and an oversized, bedroom 3.Out front, a full-width deck wraps around the home, offering a perfect spot to slow down, take in the lush northerly vistas, or gather with friends while the sausages sizzle away. Around the side, an outdoor hot tub invites you in for starlit soaks. And the garden? A charming collection of fruit trees, veggies, herbs, and whimsy - more "choose your own adventure" than perfectly pruned.At a Glance: Split-level four-bedroom home with two living areas on 1176m2 approx Parents' retreat with ensuite (double shower), walk-in robe and National Park views 3 bedrooms upstairs; bedroom 2 with ensuite effect Kitchen with Smeg appliances & reclaimed timber benches Bi-fold doors to sunny front entertaining deck Eureka built-in wood fire + Braemar ducted heating and ceiling fans Double glazed windows (front) 17 solar panels (5.1kw) with Solar Edge inverter system Double carport + driveway parking Huge under-house storage Outdoor spa Tiered garden with olives, lemons, bananas, herbs, veggie beds Just a short walk to Upwey Villages and station and moments from Upper Ferntree Gully station and shops Close to Upper Ferntree Gully and Upwey South Primary Schools, Upwey Secondary and St Josephs College Close to the 1000 Steps, Gilmour Park, and Angliss HospitalDisclaimer: All information provided has been obtained from sources we believe to be accurate, however, we cannot guarantee the information is accurate and we accept no liability for any errors or omissions (including but not limited to a property's land size, floor plans and size, building age and condition) Interested parties should make their own enquiries and obtain their own legal advice.
