Description: On an amazing near quarter-acre allotment (964m2), gently sloping to meet the renowned Warburton Rail Trail, the cottage named "Gwandalan" awaits its next chapter. Its almost 100-year history surely has some tales to tell, yet it is its future that remains the most exciting. Set on the service road and tucked behind a privacy hedge, the home features charming character elements including high ceilings with decorative cornices, sash windows, rich hardwood floors, and a period front door. With the modern comforts of reverse-cycle heating and air conditioning, plus near-new curtains, it is move-in ready while offering scope to further enhance or renovate over time. The traditional layout begins at the enclosed verandah leading to the entrance hall, flanked by two well-sized bedrooms and a lounge room with an open fireplace (currently not in use). The kitchen/meals area overlooks the expansive backyard and filtered views of Mount Dandenong, and includes an updated Westinghouse wall oven, a Goldline four-burner gas cooktop, and a wood heater set into the original hearth. Etched glass windows soften the natural light that fills the bathroom, complete with a separate bath, shower, toilet, and vanity. Step down to the laundry and sunroom a flexible space ideal for working from home, a study, studio, or additional storage and out to the backyard. Established trees and shrubs are dotted throughout the property, with the lawn stretching all the way to the rear fence and providing ample room for play, pets, entertaining, or future landscaping plans. Vehicles can easily access the backyard and the spacious allotment lends itself to an extension or even a complete rebuild (STCA). Just steps to Mount Evelyn's shops and cafés, the position offers a lifestyle of unbeatable convenience. Also within walking distance of Mount Evelyn Aqueduct Walk, Mount Evelyn Primary School, and both Joy Avenue and Mount Evelyn Preschools, it presents a wonderful opportunity for families, renovators, or those seeking a character home with exciting potential.
