Offers Close Thu, 28th Oct - 12pm (USP)
Like the magical gardens that engulf it, "Serendib" has grown more beautiful by the passing year, leaving the tight grasp of its long-time owners proud of its solidly built original cottage, rear additions and a deck that plants you in its soul-soothing canopy and keeps you there all year round.
Built in 1950 and all the richer for what followed, the cottage makes a virtue of its timber, stone and changing proportions, moving from four original rooms to a rear family room with space to gather under its rustic Oregon-beamed ceilings, and a main suite that opens to the deck like an exclusive invitation.
Just shy of two acres, the bore-fed corner allotment and garden has a history of its own and plenty still to give, from fruit trees and veggie patches that bring garden-to-plate living deliciously close to quiet pockets where you can lose an afternoon, watch a kangaroo pass and feel no particular need to be anywhere else.

Start with something freshly baked at Mylor's Verte Kitchen, meet a friend at Fred Eatery, follow the Aldgate Valley Nature Walk through native bushland or reserve a table at Yuki in the Hills. Mylor's primary school, general store and post office attend to the less leisurely parts of life, Stirling expands the shopping and dining options, and those Hills cellar doors wait patiently to be uncorked. All this rural peace yet only half and hour to the CBD
