From the street, 20 Weller Street is every bit the quintessential Goodwood cottage - a symmetrical c.1900 sandstone home framed by lush green hedges and a timeless bullnose verandah. Painted sandstone walls gleam white against the manicured gardens, where viburnum hedges, jasmine, and mature capital pear trees create a tranquil, private sanctuary.
Step inside, and the story unfolds into something far more unexpected: a light-filled modern sanctuary where history and heart meet sophisticated design and effortless family living.
Behind its classic façade lies a free-flowing layout designed for the way we live today. The beautifully preserved original cottage features polished timber floors, high ceilings, and warm, inviting living spaces - including a formal lounge and elegant dining room with a cosy wood heater providing ambient winter warmth.
Beyond, the modern extension captures light and life in equal measure, with floor-to-ceiling glass framing views of the sparkling pool and lush garden retreat. Northern and western sunlight pour through, creating a space that feels open, relaxed and joyfully connected to the outdoors.
At the heart of the home, the open-plan kitchen and casual family living area form a natural gathering place - generous, social, and oozing natural light. The kitchen blends form and function with a Westinghouse 900mm electric oven with gas cooktop, handcrafted-style soft pink subway tiles, and a large central island with storage on both sides - perfect for entertaining or family meals.
From the kitchen, a vine-covered pergola offers a lush green outlook and protection from the summer sun, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. The travertine-paved entertaining area overlooks the heated fibreglass pool, while manicured viburnum, jasmine and tahoma hedges, capital pear trees, and mature Solandra, brugmansia and white camellias create a stunning botanical backdrop.
A lined studio overlooking the pool with north-facing French doors provides an ideal work-from-home space, creative studio or gym. The adjoining laundry with second toilet keeps washing out of the main living zones and offers functional, private utility space.
Every element of the home is designed with comfort in mind - split system heating and cooling, ceiling fans throughout, block-out blinds on the rear verandah, and 13kW solar system with 33 panels to keep running costs low.
Outside, secure white slat fencing, lockable gates, and a carport with space for one vehicle plus additional off-street parking for two provide peace of mind and convenience.
