12-14 Anderson Road

Tecoma VIC 3160

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.

On entry, the sunroom can be a flexible space as either a home office, childrens play area, reading room, or simply a comfortable space to relax in. The central lounge - warm, cocooning with wood burning fireplace, is pure sanctuary - think curled up with a book, a shared glass of wine, and intimate conversations by the flickering fire. A lovely spot to relax. 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 mix of established natives, rhododendrons, camelias, along with visiting wallabies, echidnas, and kookaburras enrich the sense of living on natures doorstep to the soundtrack of nearby lyrebirds mimicking calls.

Despite the sense of escape, Tecoma and Belgraves village buzz - train stations, cafs, cinema, Micawber Tavern and Killik Handcrafted Rum - are just minutes away, and the beautiful Sherbrook Forest is at the end of the street. Its the best of both worlds: forest calm, village convenience, and a story-filled cottage ready for its next chapter.
