Offered for sale after more than a decade is this outstanding cottage, right in the heart of Gembrook where you can walk to shops, schools, restaurants and public transport within minutes.
Set on approximately ¼ acre, the home was originally built in 1940 and has since been respectfully extended and updated to include modern comforts while reverently preserving the period charm.
From the moment you see the rustic picket fence, the home draws you in, onto the brick path, to the covered timber deck with wrought iron balustrade and past the chimney to the front door.
Still captivated by the lovingly maintained original features on the outside of the home, you step into the foyer and are impressed by the styling and characteristics of another time. The dark architraves and oversized skirting boards compliment the original timber floors which feature throughout the home.
Double doors separate the foyer from the formal lounge room which has a gorgeous brick fireplace with a functional cast iron wood heater than can be used as a closed heater, or open for the complete ambient experience.
Two bedrooms are set off the formal lounge, separated by a small foyer. Both bedrooms enthral with tasteful styling, original windows, 11 foot ceilings, ceiling roses, ornate cornices and walk in robes.
On the opposing side of the lounge is the informal, open plan living, dining and kitchen. In keeping with the original style of the home, single tilt windows adorn the walls to provide natural light, and the dark cabinetry of the kitchen perfectly complements the timber bench tops and floors.
There is an additional third bedroom off the 2nd living area, also with walk in robe and stunning feature wall that expertly balances contemporary expression and period charm.
The open laundry separates the toilet from the bathroom which has been restored with a large shower and modern vanity. Single tilt windows with roller blinds, classic colour scheme and gorgeous, black, claw foot bath triumphantly complete the room.
Downstairs takes you to the rear foyer which leads to the huge, undercover entertaining deck with more than enough room to relax and entertain. The deck is bordered by timber palings and staircase in keeping with the character of the home. The rear yard is private and fully fenced with plenty of room for the kids to play.
There is also a garden studio or shed to house all your tools.
Other features of the home include large oven and cooktop, classic colour scheme, gas ducted heating, under house storage and period light switches and fittings.
There are no comparables for this property as it is truly one of a kind. Its location, charm, new additions and original features take your breath away. This home stays with you long after you’ve left.
