A contemporary yet classic renovation has transformed this period home into a stylish abode that pays homage to its heritage roots.
From the front picket fence to the bullnose verandah, soaring ceilings, double hung windows and original cast iron open fireplace, this cottage is as pretty as a period picture.
Yet no stone has been left unturned in providing elements of modern style and comfort, including designer tiles in the bathrooms and caesarstone benchtops and contemporary 2-pac, soft-close cabinetry in the kitchen.
This property really does blend the best of the old and the new.
From the street the elegant cottage presents beautifully with its custom profile hand milled timber boards and corrugated colorbond roof marrying with the rich earthy tones of the hardwood northern box verandah floor, bullnose awning and decorative iron posts.
Entry is into a wide hall where polished oak floors, moulded architraves, cornices and high skirting boards remind you of yesteryear.
An original cast iron open fireplace with a painted timber mantelpiece over a sealed brick surround is the highlight in the spacious formal living room.
There’s a fresh, warm colour scheme throughout the house and every element has been thought of, from the pendant lights to the modern door handles and plush new carpet in the bedrooms.
The open-plan kitchen, family and meals area is a light and bright space everyone will love spending time in.
Triple stacking sliding doors open to the rear hardwood northern box deck from the meals area, while stacker windows in the kitchen create a smart servery for hungry guests when you’re entertaining.
The kitchen is truly gourmet with 20mm pencil-edged caesarstone benchtops, white gloss 2-pac, soft close cabinetry, a Bosch electric oven and a Baumatic ceramic cooktop.
The outdoor, undercover deck is an entertainer’s dream and is spacious enough to allow zoned dining and lounging areas.
Back indoors there are three large bedrooms all with new carpet and stylish plantation shutters to block out or filter the light.
French doors open to reveal the master bedroom, which has a walk-through robe to the contemporary ensuite where floor-to-ceiling tiles, including a feature wall, catch your eye.
There’s also a walk-in shower with a rain soaking showerhead and contemporary vanity.
The two other bedrooms have large built-in robes with white glass sliding doors and share a central bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tiles, a deep bath on a feature tiled hob.
Other features include a European laundry, Daikin zoned, ducted air conditioning and side vehicle access to an oversized single garage, with storage space, constructed of matching Weathertex and colorbond.
All of this is situated in a lovely, leafy, quiet Lorn street close to the local infants school, shopping village and bowling club.
