Alistair Knox: Kalorama tri-level home in the rainforest for sale

Posted by Artie Phelan on Sunday, May 5, 2024

A tri-level Alistair Knox home hidden in the rainforest is for sale in Kalorama.

The five-bedroom house at 52 Jeeves Ave somehow came out of a wild storm that hit the region in 2021 even better, and has hit the market for $1.35m-$1.42m.

Fletchers Yarra Ranges agent Jenni Nash said the damaging weather “took down 100s and 100s of trees” as it tore through the region.

“Where it borders down to the street below you could never see it, ”she said.

“But because so many trees have fallen down now it’s created a view, you just used to be looking into the trees, but now there’s more of an outlook.”

Inside, the mud brick property itself is breathtaking, with vaulted timber ceilings, wall-to-wall windows, and cosy and private bedrooms, including one with a private deck with a spa.

Ms Nash said the opportunities were endless when it came to buyers, with a handy floorplan.

“It’s a great option for working from home and multi-generational living because there is separation of that lower level,” Ms Nash said.

The lower level includes a bedroom, a secondary bedroom or living space, bathroom and kitchenette.

“It’s beautifully styled and well maintained. Even the entrance just walking in has got some wow factor,” Ms Nash said.
