30 Mercia Ave, The Basin VIC 3154

· Layered outdoor zones made for hosting

Some homes just know how to shine — and this elevated Basin beauty does it effortlessly. Each evening, the front deck becomes the perfect place to unwind as the sun sinks into the city skyline. Beautifully updated with care, the home balances modern comfort with the charm of its original character, blending natural textures, thoughtful design, and easy living to create a space that feels instantly welcoming and made for relaxed entertaining.

Step inside and the warmth is immediate. Original Tasmanian oak floorboards run beneath your feet, while ironbark posts, rails and natural timber details give the home a grounded, authentic feel. The open-plan living zone centres around a Coonara wood fire wrapped in natural stone - a cosy anchor for winter nights and a beautiful nod to the home’s original bones. The kitchen is smart, functional and well placed, with gas cooking, electric oven and dishwasher keeping everyday life easy.

All three bedrooms branch quietly off a central hallway, creating a calm and cohesive layout. The main bedroom is a standout - heritage-style panelling adds texture and depth, soft sheers frame French doors opening to a private balcony, and a generous walk-in robe brings a sense of quiet luxury. The family bathroom follows suit with a double vanity, spa bath and rain shower - equal parts indulgent and practical.

At the rear, the home truly comes into its own. A beautifully crafted exposed aggregate area complete with a fully functional outdoor kitchen fitted with stone benchtops flows seamlessly from the main living zone, framed by reclaimed timbers and a striking Mudrock feature wall.

Beyond, a series of thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces unfolds: a sunken firepit for evenings under the stars, playful pockets including a sandpit, tiered garden zones, and an upper lawn where children can run free or unwind at day’s end. With a landscape of this scale and versatility rarely found in the Hills, the possibilities are truly endless.

Fruit trees and veggie beds line the front of the home - nectarines, citrus, passionfruit and strawberries - while the overall garden design balances beauty with function. This is a home that invites connection: with friends, with nature, and with those golden hours that make The Basin such a magical place to live.

Perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of both worlds, this elevated setting captures sweeping city views while placing you just moments from the natural beauty of the Dandenong Ranges — a rare and wonderful combination. Village amenities, schools, and transport are all within easy reach, making this an exceptional lifestyle opportunity.
