6 Stringybark Road, Cockatoo, Vic 3781

Nestled behind a picket fence and flourishing gardens, this endearing four-bedroom weatherboard home in Cockatoo feels like something out of a fairytale. Steeped in character and radiating warmth from every corner, it offers the perfect blend of country charm and everyday comfort.
A red brick path winds its way to the covered verandah, framed by blooming camellias and established greenery. The home's timeless weatherboard exterior, deep navy tones and rusticated roofline evoke a nostalgic beauty that's both welcoming and understated.
A circular in–out driveway makes arriving and departing a breeze, while a high-clearance carport with attached workshop adds functionality for trades, hobbyists or those who simply need great storage. There's also plenty of off-street parking, perfect for visitors, caravans or a growing household.
Step inside and you'll instantly feel the embrace of its inviting interior. Hardwood floors underfoot and traditional double-hung windows create a sense of timeless elegance, while natural light filters through to illuminate two generous living areas. The lounge is anchored by a cosy wood heater-perfect for curling up on winter evenings-while ducted heating ensures year-round comfort throughout the home.
At the centre of the home, the warm and welcoming kitchen draws people together. With timber cabinetry, tiled splashbacks and garden-framed windows, it's a space made for connection-whether it's prepping dinner while the kettle boils or sharing stories across the dining table. A stained glass feature window in the bathroom adds a whimsical flourish to the space, complementing the timber-lined walls and vintage accents that give this home its unmistakable soul.
Four comfortable bedrooms provide flexible options for family, guests or work-from-home needs, each offering peace, privacy and a calming outlook to the surrounding gardens. French doors from the dining area open directly onto a large, covered deck-a dreamy space for entertaining, relaxing, or even soaking in the clawfoot bath nestled beneath festoon lighting and the canopy of the garden beyond.
The backyard is a leafy haven filled with mature plantings, winding garden paths and quiet corners to enjoy the birdsong. With space to play, grow, and unwind, it's a true extension of the living space and invites a slower, more connected way of life.
Tucked in a peaceful pocket of Cockatoo, just moments from local schools, shops, parks and the beloved Puffing Billy train line, this property offers a soulful lifestyle for those seeking something more than just a house-it offers a home with heart.
A little bit vintage, a little bit whimsical, and entirely unforgettable-this is country living the way it should be.
