Steeped in history, admired by locals, and ready for restoration, “Mimosa” is a circa 1890s landmark offered for sale for only the second time in 136 years.
Its character façade and tiled verandah with a distinctive curved roof introduce grand interiors displaying a commanding sense of scale. Soaring ceilings, detailed timber surrounds, and tall sash windows reflect the understated elegance of the era. A long central hallway reveals three generously proportioned bedrooms, each with built-in robes, alongside a substantial lounge and dining room, reminiscent of a time of elegant entertaining.
To the rear, the kitchen offers an expansive footprint, while the bathroom, featuring a pedestal basin, sits alongside a separate toilet, forming part of an early 1900s extension to the home.
Time has softened the gardens into a hidden tapestry waiting to be rediscovered—heirloom plantings, fruit trees and seasonal blooms emerging through overgrowth will not disappoint, with brick-lined paths and a charming old, shed hinting at what once was. A long driveway provides ample off-street parking, with room for multiple vehicles or a caravan, while the substantial corner allotment with NRZ1 zoning presents exciting potential to subdivide (STCA).
"Mimosa” invites a new custodian to honour its past while shaping its next chapter, presenting a once-in-a-century opportunity to be part of a remarkable heritage story which is a part of Lilydale's fabric.
