Steeped in history, this enchanting workers’ cottage has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully renovated over the years, blending period charm with modern comforts to create an exceptional family haven.

Dating back to circa 1888, the classic timber block façade and picturesque verandah capture the elegance of the era, giving the property undeniable street appeal. Step inside to discover soaring 3.6-metre ceilings, polished timber floors, timber-panelled walls, and striking black gloss skirtings and architraves that flow throughout, adding to the home’s timeless allure.

Three generous bedrooms each feature a cast-iron fireplace with a decorative mantle and built-in robes/storage, while one enjoys the bonus of a loft area and private ensuite - perfect as a guest retreat or creative space. The remaining bedrooms are serviced by a beautifully renovated main bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tiles and a freestanding bathtub.

The formal lounge is anchored by a grand open fireplace with an exposed brick chimney, creating an inviting atmosphere for cosy winter evenings.

At the rear, the home opens into a light-filled, high-ceilinged open-plan living, kitchen, and dining zone. Sleek black granite benchtops pair elegantly with crisp white cabinetry, a striking black tiled splashback, and quality stainless-steel appliances, including a 90cm gas cooktop and oven. From here, double sliding doors connect to an impressive alfresco deck beneath a pitched-roof pergola, stepping down to a paved courtyard and a lush grassy area - perfect for children or furry friends to play, relaxed mornings with a coffee, or an evening wind-down.

A separate studio at the rear offers versatility as a fourth bedroom, home office, or creative retreat, while a newly installed double roller door and gravel area off the rear laneway provide secure and convenient off-street parking.

Positioned in one of Mitcham’s most desirable pockets, this home is within easy walking distance of Mitcham Station, local buses, vibrant cafés, restaurants, shops, and Halliday Park. With easy access to the Eastern Freeway/Eastlink and zoning for Mullauna Secondary College and Mitcham Primary School, it delivers lifestyle, charm, and convenience in one irresistible package.
