From the moment you arrive — brick facade framed by a private front deck, arched windows drawing the eye inward — it is clear you are somewhere genuinely different. Inside, warmth is the defining quality. A rich, considered colour palette runs throughout, punctuated by soaring arched windows and doors that borrow from a subtle European style — think stone-inspired detailing, wrought ironwork, and exposed timber that feels as though it belongs to another century. Skylights scatter natural light deep into the house, while the open-plan living and dining area opens directly to the garden through arched glass doors, dissolving the line between inside and out.
The kitchen is worthy of the home around it: positioned to overlook the garden, with tiled benchtops and cabinetry that echoes the warmth of the broader palette. The home's flexible layout includes a downstairs bedroom complete with its own ensuite, ideal for guests or added convenience. A beautifully crafted timber staircase leads to two further bedrooms upstairs, each uniquely appointed and opening to private balconies that look out over the treetops. The main bedroom also provides access to an attic, offering generous storage or possibility for further development. A central bathroom services the upper level.
The garden is an immersive landscape set on an expansive 861m², feeling worlds away from everyday life. As you step outside, you're transported into a private sanctuary where time slows and the outside world fades. Meandering brick paths wind through layers of considered plantings — mature trees, flowering understory, clipped hedging — leading you from one discovery to the next. A picturesque pond, crossed by a small timber bridge. A secluded seating area, hidden beneath the canopy of an established golden elm tree. Pockets of quiet that feel far removed from suburban life, even as the city remains well within reach.
This is a garden you will never truly finish exploring — and never want to leave.
Positioned in the sought-after Oakhill Estate, the home is within easy walking distance of local parks, Reservoir Leisure Centre, and the primary schools of the area. The shops, cafés, and restaurants of Reservoir Village along Broadway are close at hand, and Summerhill Shopping Centre provides convenient retail and supermarket access.
Commuters are well served: Plenty Road trams and Reservoir Station offer direct links to La Trobe University, RMIT Bundoora, Preston Market, and vibrant High Street on the way into the CBD. Northland Shopping Centre, the Darebin Creek Trail, quality secondary schools, and the Western Ring Road are all within minutes.
Whimsical, warm, and completely one of a kind — this is a home you won't find again.
