145 Victoria St, Mount Victoria NSW 2786

The charm of this delightful cottage captivates as soon as you wander down the rhododendron shaded stone path and step through the shuttered French doors into the cosy living room. A large picture window allows light to flood in and offers a serene outlook to the south-west over the established cool climate garden and to filtered views of the Kanimbla Valley.

The rustic bushrock open fireplace and original honey-coloured pine floors create an ambiance that invites one to linger couch-side, with a crackling fire and a good book. There are 2-3 bedrooms and a quaint sun room that flows onto a sheltered veranda. The country style kitchen feels like a fond childhood memory, with its black and white floor, solid wood bench tops and large double hung windows looking out over a shaded garden. The house sits on a block that is over 1/2 acre, enjoys dual street access (with car access via 43 Great Western Highway, and pedestrian access via 145 Victoria Street) and is planted with a mature mix of natives, deciduous and other cool climate plants. There is a laundry, storage space and a handy extra toilet under the house.

A garage and garden studio with a veranda, en suite and kitchen sink offers an extra versatile, independent space. It's charm and possibilities all the way with this mountain gem.
