646 Basin-Olinda Road, Olinda VIC 3788

Buyers seeking a peaceful hills lifestyle that embodies delightful character and warmth will be charmed by this cedar weatherboard treasure on over half an acre (2226m2) of stunning forest-like grounds opposite national park and only 300m to shops, cafes and the pub!

Wind your way up the long, enchanting driveway where parking is available at the doorstep. Inside, timeless slate floors, raked ceilings and exposed timber beams combine to create an earthy and comfortable haven that showcases a skylit kitchen with breakfast bar overlooking a meals zone. Step down to the cosy lounge for your downtime with easy access to the freshly oiled deck which will be your favourite place to take in the filtered city lights of an evening. The three bedrooms with robes are in a quiet split-level zone serviced by a slate accented bathroom with luxurious Englefield air spa bath.

A paved alfresco zone is a magical place to entertain under the festival lights or simply relax around a firepit as you take in your serene surrounds. The home’s sanctuary-like setting is also home to an abundance of wildlife with the serenity only broken by the sweet birdsong, the laughter of the kookaburras, and the very-hills sound of bleating deer.

Creature comforts are provided by a toasty wood heater, ducted heating and a split system with additional highlights including, new Colourbond roof, double carport accessed via a concrete driveway, which also has extra parking off to the side, under house storage and garden shed. A fabulous bonus is the separate bungalow/workshop that would make an ideal home office, studio or teen retreat with its own entrance and power.

Located in an enviable hills locale with minimal traffic, walking distance to the charm and allure of Mt Dandenong village, you can spend the morning walking the forest trails, enjoy coffee at the Montage and then head home to relax among the majestic Mountain Ash with delicious meats and cheeses picked up from The Deli Platter. There is also a bus stop just footsteps away. Don’t delay.
