Feel the warm embrace of period charm and immerse yourself in the glorious established gardens of “Lavender Cottage”, a captivating c1909 weatherboard rich in history, character and soul. Lovingly held for a generation and set on a tranquil corner in one of Mordialloc’s most tightly held and sought after pockets, this is a home where heritage elegance and relaxed family living come together beautifully.
Beyond the shaded verandah, exquisite original details tell the story of a bygone era — from polished Baltic pine floors, ornate ceiling roses and stunning stained-glass windows to the handsome wrought-iron fireplaces that anchor the home with warmth and timeless appeal. Every room celebrates the craftsmanship of its era, while beautifully preserved period features blend effortlessly with thoughtful modern updates.
Bathed in natural light thanks to its prized north-westerly orientation, the open plan living and dining domain unfolds at the rear, flowing from a quality timber kitchen to an inviting alfresco verandah and deck, surrounded by flourishing colourful gardens that feel like a private sanctuary. To the side, an in-ground pool and spa set the scene for long summer days spent entertaining and unwinding.
The ground floor accommodates three generous bedrooms, including a glorious main suite with stylishly renovated ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, while tucked within the charming attic-style roofline, a fourth bedroom and study zone offer flexibility for families. A traditionally styled bathroom with clawfoot bath and brass fittings pays homage to the home’s Federation heritage.
A laundry with access to attic storage is an added drawcard, alongside split system heating and cooling, while a two-plus car garage with additional workshop space further enhances the home’s practicality.
Beautifully positioned just moments from the village, new station, parklands and the bay, this coveted locale is in-zone for Parkdale and Mentone Girls’ Secondary Colleges, and moments to Mentone Grammar, Mentone Girls’ Grammar, St Bede’s and Kilbreda Colleges, adding exceptional family appeal to an already enviable lifestyle.
A truly special offering where timeless architecture, enchanting gardens and an exceptional bayside lifestyle meet.
