Irresistible from the very first glance. One of Norwood's original cottages, this c1900 freestanding stone cottage has been lovingly maintained to offer contemporary accommodation with an irresistibly nostalgic twist. This picture perfect 3 bedroom, double-fronted cottage, is enviably located on a corner allotment with side access and a highly-desirable North facing rear.
Behind the storybook picket fence, a row of roses welcome and the bullnose verandah beckons inside to a leadlight entry hall featuring all the original era details with high ceilings, deep skirtings, glorious ceiling roses and Baltic Pine floorboards throughout.
The front two double bedrooms charm with open fireplaces and handsome timber mantels, while the passage leads to the central lounge room - kept comfortable with split system heating/cooling, it is a sophisticated space to entertain or relax by the open fireplace and is beautifully complemented by the dining room opposite.
The home then leads into the third bedroom (or alternative home office) and the very spacious kitchen. Family and guests will be drawn to congregate in this kitchen - evocative and awash with natural light, featuring a central island, stunning timber benchtops, offset by ivory timber cabinetry and terracotta tiled floor, and equipped with stainless steel 5-burner gas cooktop, rangehood and elevated oven. There is secure, gated entry down to the cellar where you can select a bottle for relaxed drinks on the long bar before heading outside to unwind.
The heritage-style bathroom/laundry is fully tiled with walk-in shower and w.c.
Outside, the fully paved courtyard is designed to accommodate both covered and alfresco living, where the wisteria-covered arbor provides a sense of serenity and a delightful dining space.
The rear building includes sliding door access to a separate studio - a good-sized room with timber-look flooring, ceiling fan and air conditioning and a single auto-doored garage accessed from the side street.
This alluring setting is in the heart of Norwood proper and presents an exceptional opportunity to procure a brilliantly located, blue-chip slice of real estate only a 5-minute commute to the CBD, just steps to Norwood Primary School and surrounded by a wide choice of private and Government schools. It's just moments to bus services on Magill Road, local cafes, Aldi Supermarket, and not much further to The Parade with its exciting array of shops, dining and entertainment venues.
It's all just so irresistible!
