4 Florence Avenue, Sassafras, VIC 3787

The lush fern gullies and majestic Mountain Ashes of Sassafras making for a stunning landscape of ?living art? from this private half-acre hideaway at the top of the hill.

Imagine the beauty of sitting out on the wraparound deck to admire the sights and sounds of the forest ? King Parrots and Kookaburras bringing colour and laughter to the treetops ? close enough to walk to the quaint village shops in one of the most idyllic parts of The Dandenong Ranges.

New double-glazed windows spotlight the views and enhance insulation across the spectacular raked ceilings of the 3-bedroom retreat. Those lofty ceiling heights seem to mimic the towering century-old trees which surround this secluded patch above Sassafras Creek.

The home?s rustic character blends perfectly with the modern finesse of marble top bathroom vanities, and a showcase Euro kitchen ? the cooking hub serving as a centrepiece of the living space, with spectacular forest outlooks, and the culinary credentials of a professional 90cm Smeg cooker.

A grand living room invites instant relaxation ? light-filled and lavish in size, with the perfect alcove for a hammock.

Soak up the relaxation of 2 skylight bright bathrooms which feature both a claw bath, an open shower and a twin basin vanity.

On the lower level with its own entrance, an office/study creates vision for a home business or as the perfect private space for a home gym or artist studio.

Comfort is assured by central heating, split system cooling, and 2 fireplaces, with solar panels, filtered water, mains gas and a double garage adding to the amenities.

This could be the tree change of your dreams, with Devonshire Tea and Miss Marple?s famous scones on your doorstep, with bird watching and bushwalking as your daily dose of feel-good pursuits at the heart of the rainforest.
