Overview

A Fairytale Garden Oasis in the Heart of Balaclava

Tucked away in the coveted privacy of a quiet Balaclava cul-de-sac, this enchanting Federation cottage has evolved into something truly special. Bright, cheerful and full of personality, it is a home made for relaxed living, long lunches in the garden and memories that last, all on a highly desirable allotment of approximately 300sqm. Behind its charming façade, light filled interiors flow with an easy sense of fun and warmth. A versatile living and dining space opens through floor to ceiling glass doors to a generous deck and the remarkable garden beyond, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out. The chic stone kitchen sits at the heart of the home, complemented by three generous bedrooms with built in robes, a sparkling central bathroom, high ceilings, bamboo floors, reverse cycle heating and cooling, ceiling fans and a family size laundry. But it is the garden that gives this home its magic. What was once a simple backyard has been transformed into a sprawling urban food forest, abundant with fruit trees, flowering edible plants and unexpected delights at every turn. Alpine strawberries line the wandering path, forget me nots burst into bloom and citrus trees form part of an ever-changing landscape that is as productive as it is beautiful. There is something to discover in every corner, creating a private garden oasis that feels wonderfully removed from city life. Secure off-street parking adds further practicality, while the tightly held setting places Carlisle Street's cafés, restaurants and village atmosphere within an easy stroll. Schools, kindergartens, multiple tram routes and Balaclava Station are all close by, delivering the effortless lifestyle for which this pocket is so loved. Whimsical, abundant and wonderfully unexpected, this is a fairytale home ready for its next chapter of memory making.
