Description: Set on a sweeping corner block of over half an acre (approx. 2563m²) in a whisper-quiet pocket of Belgrave, this distinctive timber-clad home offers a life that feels both connected and gently removed. Bordering the Glen Harrow Heights Road Reserve and wrapped in a lush, leafy outlook from every angle, it's the kind of place where the soundtrack is birdsong and the pace naturally softens. There's an immediate sense of space as you step inside. The main living/dining domain rises with soaring trussed ceilings adding a dramatic crowning feature to the lavish domain and a brilliant canvas for those who like to entertain. Floor-skimming windows draw the outside in, while a toasty wood heater anchors the room. Sliding doors open to a wraparound deck that hugs the home, blurring the boundary between indoors and out. The kitchen/meals brings its own personality. Crafted from Tasmanian Blackwood and finished in a fresh, modish palette, it pairs seamlessly with stainless steel Miele appliances including a built-in coffee machine and Moroccan-style tiles that add a little bespoke flair. Three generously sized bedrooms are tucked away for privacy, each with robes, including a main suite with walk-in robe and ensuite. The family bathroom leans into its charm with a freestanding clawfoot bath - a gentle nod to slower evenings and longer soaks. Outside, the gardens feel established, layered and quietly enchanting. Lush lawn stretches out for play, a silver birch and striking tulip tree stand tall, and towering tree ferns create that unmistakable hills atmosphere. Along the driveway, a climbing blue passionflower weaves its way along the fence line, adding colour and character through the seasons. A semi enclosed carport cleverly transforms into an all-weather alfresco space alongside a paved terrace allowing you to open things up and bring people together with ease. The fenced yard keeps pets happy, while the bitumen drive doubles as a perfect bike loop for kids. With ample storage, rainwater tanks, heating and cooling, and an oversized single garage plus carport, the practical side is well covered. And when you're ready to step out? Belgrave Village, the station, cafés, cinemas and forest walks are all just moments away. But returning home that's when the quiet really settles in.
