One of the original Dandenong Ranges cottages, “Lobelia Cottage” wears its circa 1926 history proudly while embracing the updates that make daily life effortless. Perched on a prized corner block of around a quarter-acre, the double storey home gazes north-east across the rolling Warburton Ranges, where clouds drift like theatre curtains and mornings glow in soft mountain light.
Every element tells a story. From the original sash windows that frame leafy views, to the whimsical attic study perfect for a child’s hideaway or creative nook, the house invites imagination. Warmth radiates through the lounge, where polished timber floors and an open fireplace anchor family nights, and skylights illuminate the heartwarming interiors. Step out to an east facing deck to greet the day with a steaming cuppa or unwind as the sun sets. Pure magic.
In the country style kitchen, European appliances meet tradition with a fully reconditioned wood oven, Belfast porcelain sink, and gleaming Bristan tapware. It’s the kind of kitchen that beckons for freshly baked delights that will fill the house with a sense of homemade comfort.
The bathroom continues the period romance with a clawfoot bath, tessellated Italian tiles and pedestal basin - indulgent yet timeless. Two bedrooms (one on each level), plus a nursery/home office, make the home flexible for families or guests, while modern comforts such as new ducted gas heating, split systems, rewiring, and even a mains-to-generator switch keep everything seamlessly functional.
Outside, the garden is a sanctuary for both adults and kids: flat play zones for swings and cubbies, a lock-up chicken coop/dog shed, and two parking areas. A 6x7m garage doubles as a tradie’s dream workshop, complete with verandah and ample power.
Walk to Olinda Falls, wander the Arboretum, or nip down to village cafés where locals still greet you by name. It’s a community where the pace softens, neighbours wave, and your weekends feel like holidays. Whether you’re starting out, downsizing, or claiming a weekend retreat, Lobelia Cottage is an invitation to live where history, nature, and modern life meet in harmony.
