Tecoma VIC 3160

Theres a certain magic to Tecomas historic homes - an atmosphere that hums with stories, birdsong, and the soft rustle of the forest settling in for the evening. And tucked gently into this leafy precinct on a generous 1,529m sits a c1940s-character cottage, Days End, with a past as enchanting as its present. Originally built as a hills weekender, today it stands proudly renewed yet deeply connected to its origins. From the moment you arrive, her charm unfolds softly but convincingly. Meander down the garden path, past the garage and tiered front garden, and the soft mauve front door greets you. Newly installed double glazed windows throughout add function and practicality to this home, and frame greenery in every direction. Earthy engineered timber boards glow with warmth underfoot, walls covered in timber panelling, picture rails, and strapping on the ceilings all a nod to 1940s craftsmanship - the kind that refuses to date.

A dining room at the rear offers ample space for a large table, and spills via double French doors to a sunny north facing deck where you can embrace the abundant local birdlife, marvel at the spectacular sunsets, and take in the soothing vistas as you dine alfresco. The beautifully proportioned kitchen invites conversations and slow breakfasts, and is the social hub of the home - a place to come together to share stories of your day around the stone island bench, with stainless-steel appliances (900mm Westinghouse range oven/cooktop) and a servery through to the sunroom. Three robed bedrooms including master with chic ensuite and stone accents and another bedroom with dreamy views to enjoy from bed, are all carpeted in soft browns. They are serviced by an updated bathroom complete with corner spa - because long soaks are practically mandatory in the hills, and feature a luxe rainhead shower over the bath and stone feature wall. Outside, the lifestyle unfurls in layers. Kids will adore roaming the third-acre block, snacking their way through edible plantings of lemon, orange, mandarin, apple, and blueberry. The tiered backyard delivers ample flat areas for play, entertaining, or quiet moments under the stars. Partially fenced for furry friends, a
