Welcome to 23 Forest Street, a classic Yarra Glen weatherboard set in a tightly held and highly sought-after pocket of town. Positioned on a full-sized block with ample off-street parking, this charming four-bedroom, two-bathroom home beautifully blends original character with thoughtful updates, creating a warm and inviting family haven.
From the moment you step inside, you are captivated by the timeless charm of the original miner's cottage. Original dado timber panelling adds a sense of warmth, setting the tone for the home. The front section offers three bedrooms, all with built-in robes, including one with a walk-in robe that connects directly to the main bathroom. One bedroom features its own striking brick fireplace, making it ideal as a home office, nursery or guest room. The central bathroom is well appointed with a bath, shower, vanity and toilet.
Stepping up into the heart of the home reveals an impressive open-plan kitchen, meals and living zone designed for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is a standout, showcasing stunning timber benchtops, abundant storage, a large island bench with double sink, gas cooktop and under-bench oven. The living area is centred around a striking feature fireplace and provides a cosy, welcoming space for relaxed family evenings. An updated laundry opens to a small deck, and a large walk-in linen cupboard offers excellent storage or the flexibility to be used as a walk-in pantry.
The true showstopper is the master retreat. Generous in scale, it features a huge walk-in robe and a stylish ensuite with a large walk-in shower, toilet and vanity with storage. The bedroom itself is a private sanctuary, enhanced by beautiful floor-to-ceiling sheer curtains, Dado timber ceilings and double doors that open directly onto the outdoor entertaining area, creating a seamless indoor–outdoor connection.
All bedrooms are carpeted and fitted with ceiling fans for year-round comfort, while the living zone is also carpeted and the remainder of the home features polished floorboards. Outside, a large undercover deck provides the perfect setting for entertaining family and friends, overlooking a spacious backyard complete with a shed for storage. This outdoor space is truly special, offering room to relax, entertain, let pets roam freely, or watch children play and grow.
Full of character, comfort and lifestyle appeal, this is a home that feels instantly welcoming and ready to be enjoyed.
