1604 Burwood Highway, Belgrave VIC 3160

Poised opposite “The Bend Precinct” in Belgrave, this period cottage style home is thought to be one of the original holiday shacks circa 1920 when wealthy Melbournians holidayed in the hills. Nestled judiciously into the escarpment, this cosy home’s character allure is only matched by its prime location just footsteps from the Belgrave Village. The home is brimming with charming original features including polished timber floors, sash picture windows, ceiling roses, French doors, a brick 3-way fireplace and a gorgeous leadlight entrance door.

An enchanting living and meals area is complemented by two bedrooms and a third bedroom/sunroom, whilst the spacious sunlit kitchen has been updated over the years with a stainless-steel gas cooker and retains the original wood burning stove adding a touch or vintage charisma.

A wrap-around verandah flows from the living room perfect for enjoying a morning brew as you enjoy the symphony of birdsong and overlooks the rambling “blank canvas” backyard – wild and evergreen and beckoning to be re-discovered.
Under the house are two storage rooms (one with original brick fireplace) where workers likely stayed. Not currently regulation height for bedrooms, the spaces do however offer a host of opportunities for those with a vision (STCA).

Lifestyle allure is unmatched with the iconic Cameo Cinema an easy 3 minute amble away for a matinee and its just 7 minutes to the station. There’s no need for a car in this hard to beat location. If you need to park, there’s an off-road spot out front which could easily be adapted to fit two vehicles.
