Floorplan Statement of Information

Oliver Lodge, circa 1920's, carries a tapestry of stories within its walls, having once been home to well-known author Arthur W. Upfield, a commune for hippies, an art gallery, a doctors’ practice and even a café with B&B accommodation. Now, thanks to a meticulous restoration, this iconic property has been beautifully reimagined, blending its historic soul with thoughtfully updated elegance.

Set on a half-acre, east-facing block with three entry points, this charming home with new weatherboards and a Colorbond roof, stands proudly, framed by mature trees and stone-edged pathways. Inside, soaring 3-metre-tall ceilings, colonial and sash windows, French doors and original floorboards are complemented by fresh paintwork and carefully selected fittings, creating a home that honours its timeless character while embracing the present with grace.

The first floor of the home comfortably caters to everyday family living, while the ground floor, reached via an internal staircase or through two external doors (one with ramp access), offers an ideal setup for running a home business, B&B leasing or accommodating grown children or elderly parents.

In a prime hills location, this property offers the rare chance to not only own a significant piece of local history, but also to write its next chapter. It is just moments away from bus stops, reserves, lookouts, Mount Dandenong Primary School, as well as local shops and establishments, including the renowned SkyHigh.
