Radiating warmth, history, and quiet contentment, this much-loved Kallista cottage, has been held by one family since 1967. Poised on a north-facing quarter acre (approx. 1,012sqm) framed by magnolias, ferns, and silver birch, it embodies the timeless appeal of Hills living - simple, soulful, and effortlessly welcoming.
Behind its neat façade, you’ll find a home that balances its vintage character with thoughtful modern touches. The original polished timber floors and sash windows whisper stories of the past, while the updated bathroom and newly renewed deck bring a breath of fresh life. The living space feels cosy and connected, flowing into a spacious kitchen with gas cooking and a sunny meals area framed by dual aspect windows. Step through the screened door and onto the merbau wraparound deck - newly updated, roofed for all seasons, and perfectly positioned to soak in garden views front and back. It’s an extension of the home’s soul - a place for morning coffees or lazy Sundays with birdsong as your soundtrack.
Two bedrooms continue the cottage’s nostalgic charm, with the main bedroom showing off its delightful quirks - a built-in timber bedhead and dressing table plus built-in robes that have stood the test of time. A detached bungalow offers flexibility - ideal as a third bedroom, home office, creative studio or gym.
Outside, terraced gardens invite exploration - a lemon tree heavy with fruit, soft lining pathways, and magnificent magnolias that steals the springtime show. With off-street parking for three cars and a single garage, it’s practical as it is pretty. And when you’re ready for a coffee or the weekend market, the village is just a stroll away where Kallista Cellars, the Tea Rooms, and the organic grocer remind you why this pocket of the Dandenongs is so beloved.
Full of warmth, whimsy, and heritage charm, this delightful cottage feels like a lifelong friend ready to welcome its next family into the story.
