Auction 11am Saturday 14th October
Tucked into the quiet curve of Foster Street, Norwood lies an original home of undeniable and enduring charm.
Built in 1880 and beautifully modernised to today's standards, this three-bedroom double fronted cottage on an easy-care 348m2 offers a stylish yet welcoming home base, from the grand scale of the original four rooms, to the expansive 1989 extension of the rear.
Set privately behind brush fencing and manicured lawns, hedging and rose bushes, a lengthy verandah enjoys wonderful afternoon sunshine ideal for enjoying an afternoon cuppa in a well-placed seat.
Symmetrical in its floorplan, pass through original leadlight to enter onto the polished timber floors of the wide central hallway, expanding under luxurious 3.2m ceilings and feature lighting. Cavernous and grand in scale with original fireplaces to boot, two large bedrooms flank the entry, each fitted with built-in robes and the comfort of thick weave woollen carpet and stylish ceiling fans.
Emerge in the kitchen/dining and take in a contemporary design in sympathy with the bones of the home. Enjoy an abundance of cabinetry, marble look benchtops, and stainless steel appliances including a 900mm gas cooktop, oven and dishwasher.
From the dining at its centre, you can enjoy a wonderful natural flow through to the carpeted living space, with French doors framing the gardens beyond. Wrapped in windows and maintaining those lofty ceilings, enjoy a naturally bright and airy space within which to entertain, relax or hibernate.
A third generous bedroom is set on the north of the home alongside the chic newly renovated bathroom. Both the bathroom and laundry are brand new and ready for you, with the bathroom offering a lengthy vanity and dual feature raised basins, stylish yet practical tiling, a well-sized shower, plantation shutters, and an enviable monochrome clawfoot freestanding bathtub.
Maintaining all-day privacy within stylish iron fencing, the east-facing backyard enjoys warming afternoon sun, encouraging you to dine Alfresco through spring and summer, and spend your free time outdoors. With a sizeable patio and verandah and enough lawn to please pets and the little ones, it's the perfect suburban sanctuary.
Settle into the fabulous Norwood community and a routine of morning coffee at Saha, Friday nights at Lune Bar & Eatery, and a little gelato at 48 Flavours on balmy summer nights. Explore the seemingly endless dining options along Norwood Parade, from 30 Acres Norwood and 400 Gradi to Arkhe and Africola Canteen.
Moments to Norwood Foodland, Aldi and Coles, you can take your pick for the weekly shop, while The Parade has you covered for boutique shopping too.
Landscaped, renovated and beautifully established, 16 Foster Street is the perfect backdrop for your next chapter of memories in the stylish suburb of Norwood.
