Properties like Branxton's Lemon Tree Cottage are truly rare. Featuring the unique combination of classic picture rails, high skirting boards, bespoke cornicing and completely refurbished original doors and windows, it also boasts the highly desirable bonus of a slew of brand-new features. As part of a complete back to frame renovation, the upgrades are extensive including new bathrooms, kitchen, flooring, Hardiplank cladding, Colorbond roof, built in robes, ducted air conditioning, full insulation and all fixtures and fittings. This complete transformation of a charming weatherboard cottage has not been lived in since the renovation, so it is all yours to christen. It is effectively a brand new four bedroom / two-bathroom home, but with the heart and soul of a cottage brimming with the character of the 1950s.
The current owners have thought of everything during the rebuild of this picture-perfect home so all you need to do is move in and relax in its ultra private backyard or sip drinks on your front deck as you watch the world go by beyond the pretty white picket fence. With a lock up garage for one car and parking for a further two cars it has everything you need.
