97 Olinda-Monbulk Road

Olinda VIC 3788

The stunning swimming pool, designed by Edna Walling and one of the first in Australia, is constructed to be made to feel like it's formed as part of the natural hillside, with stone walls and seating which provide a soothing oasis in which to restore your inner tranquility.

The 2 level weatherboard home has huge windows to take in views to the east overlooking the snowcapped ranges in the distance as the abundant deciduous trees lose their leaves and open up the home to the easterly sun and magical views, which can be taken in from the lounge and dining rooms, and all 4 bedrooms. The country style kitchen still has a working cast iron wood stove and this theme is carried through to the lounge room where the stone faced chimney houses a cast iron log fire, a real focal point on those crisp hills evenings.

Polished timber floors throughout contrast with warm neutral dcor, and you can rest assured that all of the comforts you expect are in place with gas fired hydronic heating, stainless steel dishwasher, gas cooktop and under-bench oven together with a magical sun room designed to allow all the space required for your storage needs, together with a walk in dry store/pantry, all opening out onto a magnificent deck where tranquility is only disturbed by birds of all colours.

Originally named Teri Hi Hi (Place of Bird Songs) this totally secluded property is only a short stroll to the local Cafs and Olinda village, and is truly a property that provides a welcome respite from the demands of modern life! Call Vicki Ginders for a private appointment to inspect.

*Edna Walling, an influential and celebrated gardener and landscape artist, created some of the most beautiful gardens in the Melbourne area in the early part of the 20th Century
