Overview

‘Silvermist’ - An Enchanted Hills Cottage Close to Shops with HUGE Potential

Located a lazy stroll from the Kallista Tea Rooms and a few minutes’ walk to the heart of Kallista with its numerous cafes, shops, primary school, and Dandenong Ranges National Park lies ‘Silvermist’, a magical 2-bedroom timber cottage on 1480m2 of usable, gently terraced gardens with feature brickwork paving and its own babbling brook. The addition of a beautiful garden studio with kitchenette and incredible potential to almost double the size of the existing residence by converting the under-house workshop/ games room, makes this a truly attractive property with huge potential. This charming cottage is light and airy and showcases tasteful design features throughout, along with a neutral palette and beautiful limewashed floorboards. Clever design has the cottage wrapped around a generous central deck which has been framed by 3 sets of double French doors offering direct deck access from both the bedrooms and the dining room. A practical floorplan with the deck as a central feature, not only invites the best views of the tree ferns and beautiful mature gardens but also brings in a sense of being in your own private oasis in the trees, making it the perfect place to have your morning coffee, read a book or entertain guests. The comfortable, light-filled living area has garden views, whilst the open plan kitchen features redwood benches with chef’s oven and ample pantry and storage. A separate laundry and second toilet can be found downstairs along with the opportunity to add value by utilising the massive space already under the roofline into almost anything you can think of, such as a teenage retreat, extension, workshop, or massive games room. Add to this a bathroom with a separate clawfoot bath, gas-ducted heating and split system and you will be perfectly comfortable while you contemplate your options. At a glance: • Outstanding opportunity to almost double the footprint of the main residence • On a 1480m2 block with established tree ferns and mature gardens • Renovated studio with kitchenette • Large entertaining deck • Lifestyle property in the heart of Kallista • Walking distance to shops and primary school
