9 Carween Avenue, UPWEY

Poised proudly at the end of a no-through road and brimming with character, Toogoolawah is a lovingly preserved 1950s mid-century classic with a name, a soul, and stories to tell. Set on a lush quarter-acre (1111m²) with towering tree ferns and leafy outlooks from its elevated position, this solid split-level home has just the right mix of quirk, comfort, and creative possibility. Think vintage wallpaper, bold carpets, and high ceilings that give a nod to a bygone era. The floorplan is flexible and forgiving - there’s plenty of space for growing families with nostalgic souls with a Pinterest board full of mid-century dreams. The heart of the home is the skylit retro-meets-modern kitchen, where stainless steel appliances sit comfortably alongside 1950s charm. There’s a separate dining area for big family dinners, a casual meals zone and a cosy wrap-around living room framed by built-in shelves just begging for a collection of classic novels or travel trinkets. Three bedrooms fan out across the main level, along with a bathroom with refreshed vanity and shower and a covered front patio with café blinds and a fan for all-weather entertaining. Up the beautiful floating timber staircase awaits a true retreat: a loft-style main bedroom with attic robes (one each!), treetop views, an ensuite, and endless potential for a reading nook, writing desk, or hobby haven. Outside, discover tiered gardens with extensive stonework, veggie patches, and a level play area for kids or a morning cuppa in the gazebo, plus multiple garden sheds for all your tinkering, storing, or pottering needs. There’s also a single semi-enclosed carport (fully secure), and under-house workshop. Just a 12-minute stroll to Upwey station and village life, this quiet cul-de-sac location is all about community and calm, while still offering a quick link to the city when needed. A home where character counts, peace is plentiful, and the next story is yours to write.
