9 Cards Lane, OLINDA

There’s something quietly poetic about living on Cards Lane - a lane steeped in history and framed by towering eucalypts where kookaburras keep time, and an echidna occasionally ambles past. Once chosen by world-renowned author and crochet designer Mary Card for its “surpassing beauty on the edge of a forest,” the setting is as enchanting now as it was a century ago.

Privately positioned on a quarter acre (approx. 1022m²), this clinker brick residence feels worlds away yet is just a short stroll to the villages of Olinda and Mount Dandenong. Step inside and discover a home that marries thoughtful design with everyday ease, wrapped in the sounds and scents of nature. Engineered timber floors with a generous 6mm veneer provide warmth underfoot and durability for years to come, while the airtight construction with double glazing and a mechanical ventilation system ensures year-round comfort and whisper-quiet interiors.
