Sassafras 411 Mount Dandenong Tourist Road

Since 1895 resplendent "Rostrevor" has been the cornerstone of the Dandenong Ranges landscape. Set on over 2 acres of lush natural landscape and occupying a prominent corner site atop Mount Dandenong Tourist Road, this home has been held by the same family for over 60 years and piqued the curiosity of passersby for generations.

This architectural achievement, only available for private inspection to vetted buyers, offers a once-in-lifetime opportunity to enter the history books. Boasting a bountiful 26 rooms and heritage noting, not listing, imagination is the only limitation here. With an enduring legacy from guest house to 6 apartments to a single family dwelling, this latest chapter will be an exciting undertaking for fortunate new owners.

Meandering pathways lead past the street-level double garage with ornate bargeboards into your own private oasis. Tucked within the treeferns, the columned portico entry with ornate penny tiles steps into the foyer with rich timber accents. From here, the floorplan branches to the formal lounge with exquisite archways and 9 further rooms that can be configured to your liking. Comprising bedrooms, workshops, and a shared bathroom, what was once the guest accommodation can now evolve to its latest incarnation.

On the upper level, the enclosed verandah frames a beautiful lounge with exquisite leadlight, a formal dining area with French doors, and the classic kitchen at the heart of the home. Intertwined for an intimate feel and adorned with wallpaper, ceiling roses, picture rails, and picturesque outlooks, exploring this residence is an experience that will not be forgotten.
