Striking a beautiful balance between period charm and contemporary comfort, this renovated 3 bedroom, double-fronted cottage (circa 1890) is captivating with its unique inspired flair, dual living spaces, internal courtyard and private rear garden setting.
Set behind a pretty white picket fence, the bluestone façade with front verandah presents a picture perfect welcome into a hallway where engineered timber flooring enhanced by soaring ceilings and gleaming white interiors make a dramatic style statement.
Three charming bedrooms (two across the front) are all fitted with mirrored built-in robes; while the sparkling bathroom offers a deep bath, frameless glass walk-in shower and w.c. Plus, there is the convenience of an additional separate w.c.
Broad format grey tiled flooring signifies the transition from the original part of the home to the modern domain. Here a surprisingly spacious family room is full of natural light thanks to the wall of glazing which steps out to the fully enclosed North-facing central courtyard and outdoor kitchen. With striking exposed brick and stone walls, overhead and mood lighting and pitched roof pergola, plus the convenience of cabinetry with sink and stainless steel rangehood, this is a brilliant setting for all weather dining and entertaining.
Extensive glazing also illuminates the open plan living/dining and kitchen zone at the rear which boasts a freestanding slow combustion heater for cosy winter nights. The kitchen stars a charcoal grey topped breakfast bar with feature pendant lighting, stainless steel oven, dishwasher and gas cooktops. Glass doors extend this generous space outdoors where you can soak up the morning sun, relax or dine alfresco style in the rear paved courtyard and garden. The auto-doored garage accessed from Dover Street, accommodates 2 cars (parking end-to-end) and is fitted with abundant storage and double doors into the back garden.
