Once a Fettler's cottage, always a fairytale
If its stone walls could talk, this C1855 storybook fettler's cottage would spin one heartwarming yarn after another. It's your turn to create lasting memories on this fairytale property, just a short pause from Aldgate and Stirling villages.
Earthy tones, sweeping verandahs, colonial-style windows and exposed brick quoins set the tone beyond its cottage garden and post and rail fencing.
Inside, this wonderfully original home is so charming that every step is a magically transportive experience.
Its rectangular two-bedroom footprint is beautifully simple. The textural variations and natural materials that tie it all together ensure the true beauty lives in its imperfections.
Timber hugs floor and ceiling, stone peers through plaster; daily reminders this enduring, 2008-updated home is more than ready for the next 150 years.
On one side, living areas fold into one another via wide openings, creating what feels like multiple zones amongst one all encompassing space.
The combustion fire crackles away. The crockpot simmers in an updated kitchen with stone benchtops, breakfast bar and loads of storage. Just another winter's day in this cosy solar-powered home with an oversized main bathroom. Tub and shower included.
Outside, covered parking and shedding comes naturally amongst secret nooks and crannies, stone-raised garden beds, a meandering creek and an entertainer's patio with your very own woodfire pizza oven.
Just minutes from Stirling and a swift descent of the freeway, to the Tollgate, Aldgate trades city strain for a slower, simpler life. The story continues…
