8 Birds Road, Ferny Creek, Vic 3786

Some homes feel like a warm embrace the moment you arrive, and this enchanting 1950s weatherboard cottage welcomes you with open arms. Nestled on a rare flat allotment in the heart of Ferny Creek, this character-rich home is framed by a flourishing garden sanctuary where birdsong fills the air, and every window offers a picturesque view. With a seamless blend of mid-century charm and modern comfort, it’s the perfect retreat for tree-change dreamers, retirees, empty nesters, or small families seeking a life less ordinary on a sunny almost quarter acre block.
Step through the front door into a world of warmth and charm, where louvre picture windows, ceiling roses, and garden glances from every room set the tone for relaxed hills living. The surprisingly spacious layout offers three distinct living zones, each inviting you to slow down and soak in the serenity.  Bask in the sun-drenched beauty of the garden-facing sunroom, share stories over dinner in the elegant family/meals area under a stunning ceiling rose, and when the weather turns crisp- gather around the crackling wood fire in the cosy front lounge with bay window.
The heart of the home is a beautifully updated open-concept kitchen, where a 900mm freestanding cooker, dishwasher and breakfast bar are bathed in natural light from illuminating solar skylights. 
Two well-zoned bedrooms each enjoy their own modern ensuite, making this an ideal arrangement for those who appreciate their own space - whether it’s downsizers, two housemates, or guests who’ll never want to leave. The main bedroom is a true retreat with dual-aspect windows that frame the garden, a spacious walk-in wardrobe, and a private ensuite.
The magic continues when you swing open the French doors to a small deck that gazes lovingly over the garden as you enjoy a morning brew. The flat, private allotment is a delightful balance of beauty and productivity, with a charming picket fence and winding pathways leading past vibrant cottage perennials in full bloom including a delectable mix of salvias, hylotelephium, Japanese windflowers, and hyssops. Garden beds and berry patches (raspberries and blueberries) invite you to embrace a homegrown lifestyle, while the lemon tree is ready to provide zest for your next culinary creation. With high privacy hedging, mature trees (rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias), and resident kookaburras and magpies serenading you from the treetops, it’s no wonder the street is named Birds Road.
Practicality is also well covered with a single garage, extra off-street parking, a woodshed, and rainwater storage. And with Proserpina Bakehouse, forest walks and charming townships with boutique shops, restaurants, and public transport just moments away - not to mention the Melbourne CBD a mere 50-minute drive - you truly have the best of both worlds.
A charming, soul-soothing retreat where every season is a delight - this is the hills lifestyle you’ve been waiting for.
