Originally constructed in 1935 as the gardener's cottage for Greystanes Estate, this astutely renovated home retains original character and charm, interspersed with contemporary Sandy Bay style in a secluded and sought-after location.
Set back from the street on a North-facing allotment the home captures all-day sunshine. From the gravelled courtyard, the expansive entrance showcases the warm and welcoming interior with high ceilings, wide hallways, original polished timber flooring, and original windows allowing the by-gone era to shine amid modern upgrades. The exterior of the cottage seamlessly blends sections of solid bluestone with vertical timber cladding.
A luxuriously spacious living room invites an abundance of natural light with a central wood heater encased in solid sandstone. The space enjoys room for family dining and extends to the rear yard and terrace by way of French doors. The home is lovely and warm year-round with ducted gas heating throughout.
The kitchen offers yet another glimpse into the home's rich history, with hardwood cabinetry, including an in-built folding breakfast bench. Premium stainless-steel appliances are all on hand including a Miele dishwasher, Bosch oven with electric stovetop and rangehood and a Westinghouse fridge and freezer.
Generous accommodation comprises of three bedrooms, two with built-in wardrobes and each flooded with sunshine. Designed with peace and privacy in mind two bedrooms are located at one end of the home, while the master sits in the opposite wing. The master bedroom comes complete with built-in robes, a refreshed en-suite, and direct access to the leafy backyard.
The central bathroom is incredibly spacious and features a corner shower, large vanity, toilet, and a spa bath. Complete comfort is assured with overhead heating, and heated towel racks.
Outside, a path weaves from the terrace steps to a lovingly maintained, gently sloping lawn and surrounding gardens with established hedges and trees of walnut, mulberry, and magnolias. The fully fenced yard wraps around the home, with a charming courtyard at the front and plenty of shady and sun-filled space to entertain in complete seclusion at the rear.
A powered shed sits at the bottom of the garden, which could easily become a workshop or studio space, or to utilise as additional room for storage. The double car port provides off-street parking for two vehicles and is accessible from the yard and the gated courtyard.
Throughout the property both inside and out, timeless elegance greets at every turn. Adding to the appeal of this in-demand home is its prime location, within walking distance to local beaches, shops, premiere schooling, UTAS, and just a short trip into the Sandy Bay shopping village, making the remarkable residence a rare and special find in such a tightly held locale.
