9 Monash Avenue, Olinda VIC 3788

Peacefully ensconced from the main road in an enchanting Edna Walling inspired garden wonderland reside these two charming, interconnected cottages that can be utilised as one large family home with flexible options for home business/multigeneration families/home business, or two separate cottages that can be operated as BnBs for a winning income producing opportunity.

The total layout comprises four bedrooms (or three and a study), two bathrooms, two kitchens and two living zones with hill’s essential open fireplaces that will roar long into the cold winter nights. Picture-perfect for those who appreciate a slice of hills history while being close to all the popular drawcards of the Dandenong Ranges, its magical setting is waiting for a young family, couple, or retirees to start their tree change. Artists, photographers, creatives and dreamers will also find allure with this cosy haven - a nostalgic and romantic setting to enjoy the hills life.

Overflowing with bespoke yesteryear aesthetics with reclaimed touches throughout, the home blends a beautifully meandering footprint across gorgeous solid timber and brick floors sympathetically updated to comfortably accommodate the modern household. This is a home that will ground you and bring solace and balance to your everyday life.

The original two-bedroom cottage circa 1890 resides at the rear of the property and exudes all the character and warmth of its era including timber and brick floors, French doors, leadlight windows, plus an open fire in its cosy living space. A full kitchen flows to a sunny meals space opening to a timber deck - the perfect spot for a cuppa with the magical sound of the trickling water feature and pond as a soundtrack.

The interconnecting front cottage is a sweet as can be (interior by Justin Bishop Design) with its split-level design showcasing a lavishly sized bedroom with a spa bath under a skylight, full kitchen with dishwasher drawers, living area with toasty open fire and a courtyard garden with outdoor fire. Additionally, there’s a laundry and storage room leading to the other cottage.

The evergreen garden sanctuary is bursting with sublime stonework and a full spectrum of seasonal colours, a tinkling stream and features an entrance hedge designed by Jeremy Francis of Cloudehill.

Moments from everyday essentials and the beating heart of the Olinda Villages, yet far away from the bustle – this soul-soothing sanctuary combines convenience with a peaceful quietude. The location is rich in lifestyle amenities and will bring a lifetime of joy to the lucky new owners.
