3 Old Road, Olinda, VIC, 3788, Australia

In one of “The Hills” most tightly held, community-centric streets, “Robin Hill” is a captivating 1935 inter-war bungalow which delivers a wonderfully relaxing home for your family to love and cherish. Once a beloved holiday retreat, this alluring residence has evolved over time with thoughtful, era-sympathetic updates that retain its original charm, whilst adding modern comfort.

Sitting on almost an acre, this beautiful home welcomes you with its lush, near-level gardens with cool climate old-world plants that make a true “Hills garden” - including Rhododendrons, Camellias, Hydrangeas, Azaleas, Tree Ferns, Maples, Beech, Calmias, Luculias, Snowball Trees and a majestic Himalayan Cedar. Rock Cyclamen, Bluebells, Woodland Anenomes , Lily of the Valley, Galanthus, Hellebores, Coral and other Fungi lie dormant for months and re appear like old friends. The much loved garden bursts with colour in Spring and Autumn and yet holds more lovely surprises year round.

Inside, you’ll find a home perfectly positioned to capture the light and sunshine, with living spaces oriented east and north, with all the bedrooms facing east. The hardwood floors pair beautifully with original sash windows, creating a space that feels as timeless as it is liveable. A functional country-style kitchen with enchanting garden views delivers a 900mm La Germania stainless steel cooktop/oven nestled in the original hearth.

Enjoy meals in the adjacent dining zone where expansive windows make it feel as though you’re dining within the garden itself, surrounded by greenery and natural light, or on the adjoining alfresco deck. Flowing seamlessly from the dining area into a huge living area with coffered ceilings and an inviting open fire, this heart-of-the-home space invites cosy nights or lively get-togethers, with ample room for everyone to gather.

The expansive, east-facing master bedroom suite offers a delightful window seat perfect for morning coffee or enjoying your favourite books. The four bedrooms (one located upstairs with built-ins) are serviced by two updated bathrooms, including a deep soak bath in the main for that added touch of luxury. Outside, this property truly shines as a green thumb’s paradise, offering magical spots to enjoy everything from lively evenings to late night chats around the fire or peaceful moments of quietude. Meandering pathways wind their way through the verdant grounds, leading you past vibrant blooms and shady trees, each turn revealing a new nook to relax and recharge. The gardens will soothe the soul as you wander through the enchanting landscape that transforms throughout the seasons - a true haven for nature lovers, young children, creatives and entertainers alike.

Set in a supremely private location with filtered views of Mount Donna Buang, “Robin Hill” is only a short walking distance to Cloudehill Gardens and Seasons Restaurant, the Dandenong Ranges Botanic Gardens and RJ Hamer Arboretum, Olinda Green Playground, the off-leash dog park, and minutes away from Olinda Village, with its café culture and boutiques.
