Striking Bluestone Cottage with Grace & Contemporary Class
Merely doors from King William Road cafes and shops and occupying a premium 256sqm approx allotment, this gorgeous 3 bedroom Bluestone cottage has been re-imagined, renovated and extended in uncompromising style offering an exceptional mix of fine original rooms with today's family living/entertaining spaces - effortlessly bringing together 1900's charm and contemporary comfort.
With irresistible curbside appeal, set behind a delightful picket fence lined with standard roses, the traditional bullnose verandah provides the first welcome and once inside discover the original Baltic Pine floors, soaring ceilings, classic Victorian hallway arch, deep timber skirtings, ceiling roses and character-filled spaces.
The floorplan transitions from the three double bedrooms set within the original front part of the home, through a lovely stained glass door to the new, breathtaking open plan living/dining and kitchen zone. The gourmet kitchen with glossy white cabinetry, stainless steel hardware and prestige appliances including a wide 900mm oven with 5-burner gas cooktop, Dishlex dishwasher, stunning stone benchtops and island bench creates an ideal setting for fabulous entertaining. The adjacent light-splashed living and dining area (with room for an 8-seater dining table) features a wall of glazing where glass sliders open the interiors out to the deck which is set against a backdrop of leafy green tranquility and designed for private alfresco dining.
The new rear extension includes a luxe bathroom also bathed in natural light and featuring floor to ceiling tiling, floating vanity, deep bath, separate shower and w.c. The European laundry cleverly separates the bathroom from a fully tiled powder room and second w.c.
The bedrooms are as charming as they are spacious. Bedroom 1 (fitted with a wall of built-in robes) and bedroom 2 feature ducted reverse cycle air conditioning and ceiling roses, while the third boasts a beautiful open fireplace with timber mantel.
