55 Grantulla Road, Kallista, VIC, 3791, Australia

Perfectly positioned on the ‘The Golden Mile’ as the locals call it, this peaceful home, with architectural highlights, includes polished floorboards, feature stone floors and touches of its mid-century roots –that will never go out of style.

Central to this home’s success is the open plan living area with large wall to wall picture windows, designed to encourage indoor-outdoor living. This light-filled, open space adjoins the sprawling deck, creating the perfect place to relax and take in the natural surrounds as you fill your lungs with fresh air.

There are 3 unique bedrooms, including an expansive main with thatched ceiling, a bathroom including pedestal sink and views from the bathtub. Every room is bursting with warmth and charm, including an updated kitchen.

Set behind private gates at the end of an easy driveway, the home sits peacefully on the mountain surrounded by lush, established gardens. It’s a stunning example of hills living and provides a safe sanctuary for the abundance of local, native wildlife, including Eagles, King parrots, Lyrebirds and two resident Owls.

Its key position, opposite the National park, offers multiple walking tracks and is close to several respected schools within the enviable Dandenong Ranges. A relaxing, picturesque drive, just 50 minutes from the Melbourne CBD.
