About this property
Retro bungalow in organic garden oasis
Experience a cool, east-facing bungalow set in the back garden of the main house, with views over a lush herbaceous perennial garden filled with flowers, birds, and fruit trees including figs, lemons, tamarillo, pomegranate, and raspberries.
Inside is a spacious room with mid-century modern furniture, including Australiana shell and wood art, vintage Japanese plates, string and embroidery craft work from the 1970s. There’s also a desk with a swivel chair, fast internet, ideal for work or relaxation.
BATHROOM
The shared bathroom with bath and shower is located in the main house and accessed via a short garden walk to a separate entrance. The toilet is private and for your exclusive use. NOTE: the pink metallic wallpaper by Australian artist Florence Broadhurst.
OUTDOOR SPACES
Front and back gardens offer shaded seating areas with umbrellas—perfect for relaxing and enjoying the garden, especially the Palm Springs inspired succulent garden and the outdoor fire pit.
PARKING
Free on-street parking is available nearby.
The garden is a haven for birds and critters, attracting magpies, lorikeets, ravens, rosellas, thrushes, finches, butcher birds, wattlebirds, flying foxes, and ringtail and brushtail possums.
As a fan of Mid-Century Modern design and architecture, I’m happy to provide a walking map highlighting the best MCM houses in Caulfield North.
The bungalow is conveniently located just a 10-minute walk to Caulfield train station, a 5-minute walk to trams, and close to Caulfield Racecourse and Monash University.

What makes this property unique
The bungalow is surrounded by large, lush gardens at the front and back, creating a calm private retreat close to everything. Set within a secluded walled garden, the space feels peaceful, sheltered, and wonderfully private.
What makes this property unique is its magical outdoor atmosphere—Adirondack chairs in both gardens, a BBQ, outdoor bath, composting area, thriving organic garden, fire pit (available on request), and fairy lights throughout the garden that create a beautiful glow at night. The garden is also filled with herbs and fruit trees, with seasonal pickings often available for guests to enjoy. In the front driveway sits Franklin, a 1969 vintage retro caravan, adding a touch of character and nostalgia to the property.
Designed as a small eco haven, the property is a place where gardens, birds, and wildlife all coexist. It’s a sanctuary for visiting magpies, lorikeets, rosellas, finches, wattlebirds, flying foxes, and ringtail and brushtail possums. You may also meet Daphne the cat, who likes to cruise around the garden and greet guests in her own time.
