Olinda VIC 3788

Olinda is famous for world class gardens - Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden, Cloudehill and Pirianda, Dandenong Ranges National Park, RJ Hamer Arboretum, plus the delightful Olinda Village cafes and shops.


Highly sought after as a tourism destination, it is equally sought after by those seeking a quieter lifestyle, as well as retirees and gardeners, with the added advantage of being within commuting distance to Melbourne . Predominately owner occupied, homes in Olinda are experiencing a new wave of buyer - popular with weekenders doubling as air bnb owner operators for people attending the many 'hidden' venues. Everyone wants to live here but few get the chance.


Charming, older weatherboards nestle snugly in their stunning gardens and this home is no exception. Set on 2606 m2 of established European trees, rhododendrons, camellias, magnolias, maples, scattered seasonal bulbs, and open lawn. Surrounded by beautiful gardens, this is a magical place to enjoy with the home set well back and firmly in its own space.


This home has grown and changed over the years with owners adding their own touch. The current owners have continued this tradition, but leaving plenty of scopes for you to add your own.


Originally a three-bedroom cottage with one bathroom living spaces are gracious and vary in size. The front entry immediately moves into living space one - a music room, a study or greeting room for guests. The solid native floorboards are beautiful, with wonderful natural lighting.


The central hallway leads directly to the covered, restored rear verandah or to the more formal living and dining area. The East facing verandah and the dining area overlook the wide expanse of the rear lawn. The living area boasts wood heater warmth for winter and a/c split systems for added balance, winter and summer. You are spoilt for choice as ducted heating also operates throughout.


The hall conveniently also leads to the generously sized kitchen, loads of bench space and cupboards with french door access to the verandah. The second bedroom with its built-in robes and family bathroom are also positioned off this hallway.


Bedroom one is massive, running the entire width of the home and features garden outlooks at each end along with built in robes, original french leadlight doors and a small ensuite. This bedroom can be easily restored to the original two bedrooms if need be.


A truly gracious home with a surprising amount of space, stroll around the gardens and let your imagination take flight. These homes are scarce, it's time for you to take your opportunity to own a home in sought-after Olinda.
