The origins of ‘Treetops’ whisper across the Dandenong Ranges, hinting of a holiday house to a well-to-do person, a stylish, single lady that drove a flashy car. Apparently, she had links to a Melbourne retail icon still trading today. If only these beautiful old walls could talk.
Charming and welcoming this residence retains many of its period features and some new creature comforts. High ceilings - ornate and strapped, chandeliers, hardwood floors & doors, open fireplace with cast iron burner, wood panelling, French doors, and custom drapery. Lovers of character will enjoy the quirky layout and creative cabinetry.
Offering 4 bedrooms the main with walk through robe, ensuite and Juliette balcony, a secondary bedroom has a study/gaming nook. The family bathroom boasts a luxury claw foot bath. There are two separate living spaces, a lounge/dining with fireplace and another utilized as a TV room. Walk into the kitchen and you will be impressed by the copper sink, new timber benches and Falcon Cooker in ‘British racing green,’ with dual ovens and 6 burners, cooking is sure to be a passion. You can enjoy the indoor/outdoor lifestyle with a large, covered deck, ideal for entertaining.
Outdoors, the gated and fenced property has a sealed return driveway, a second access point for the caravan or boat, a gorgeous cubby house, under house vehicular access and workshop, storage, and laundry, also a veggie patch and chicken coop. The allotment on just over ½ an acre has lovely established gardens, bursts of colour throughout seasons and plenty of space for all family members to experience.
The location is ideal, you are just minutes to Belgrave Township, pre, senior and junior schools. Sherbrooke Forest is next door, so much to discover, walk to the falls in just 15 minutes or a longer adventure can take you right through to Kallista, you might need to stop at Micawber Tavern as you pass by for a pint and a parma. What a lifestyle!
In the early 1900’s day trippers and holidaymakers used to catch the steam train and head to the hills for relaxation, picnics, and frivolity. It is comforting that some things never change with the iconic Puffing Billy still tooting nearby.
