38 Bruce Crescent, Ferntree Gully, Vic 3156

This unique little cottage is truly a rare find in Ferntree Gully and will offer its lucky new owner the chance to buy a slice of history and develop this property into their dream home.

What it lacks in size, this quaint home makes up for in bags of original rustic features and stunning views across to the Dandenongs.

A sturdy rendered brick construction, this home is a renovator's dream. It has a charming vine-covered front patio, two large bedrooms, an original kitchen, generous dining and family room and bright sun room which could be used as a third bedroom. It also offers a large workshop which is built underneath the main house.

The home's key selling point is its rustic charm, period features such as its pine-lined ceilings and incredible views which stretch out across a generous bushland backyard to the mountains beyond. Its deep backyard has been lovingly tendered and is heavily planted in mature fruit trees, macadamia trees and even a Queensland bottle tree.

The cottage sits high atop Bruce Crescent which is somewhat of a Ferntree Gully landmark on its own. The road winds its way around the hill and at its summit offers unhindered 360 degree views as far as the eye can see.

As far as family location goes, you could not do better than this brilliant part of Ferntree Gully. Sitting just between Boronia Road and Burwood Highway, the area offers easy access to road and rail transport options, a wide range of quality primary and secondary schools, parklands, shopping centres and cycling paths.
