A Hills Hideaway with Creekside Calm
Tucked at the end of a quiet road and framed by nature, this much-loved brick hills cottage delivers an authentic Dandenong Ranges escape - more than half an acre of lush ferns, mature trees, and a gentle creek that winds through the gully below.
Inside, warmth and individuality unfold across a home alive with colour and creativity. Timber floors, high ceilings, and exposed beams bring a sense of grounded charm, while the open-plan living zone, anchored by a brick fireplace, is pure Hills comfort. The kitchen adds its own personality - handcrafted timber benchtops, cheerful tiled splashback, and a stained-glass window designed by a local artist - a beautiful detail that plays with light throughout the day.
Three serene bedrooms each feature robes, including a main suite with walk-in robe, split-system, and direct outdoor access. The central walk-through bathroom blends natural tones with brushed brass tapware and full-sized bath, evoking calm after a day spent in the garden.
Outdoors, the deck overlooks a leafy fern gully and the sound of running water - a perfect place for coffee, conversation, or quiet reflection. There's also a chicken coop, lemon tree, water tank and pumps, a storage shed, and a carport, offering practicality to match the charm.
Set on approximately 2,231sqm, this home feels private yet wonderfully connected - just moments from Cockatoo village, local schools, and the walking trails, reserves, and rail nostalgia that make this part of the Hills so loved.
