With its charming white weatherboard exterior, farmhouse style French doors and established gardens, this sensitively-restored coastal cottage looks as though it's been plucked straight out of a fairytale.
Originally built in 1926 by Mackinley Pickett � descendent of the Picketts Valley Family who first settled in the area in the 1800s � the 100-year-old home is steeped in history and has been lovingly restored and updated over the years, including a recent renovation by the current owners.
The historic home has been treated to a top-to-toe transformation to bring it back to life with new cladding, new and restored timber floors, a striking herringbone-pattern brick patio, French doors and colonial-style windows, fresh white walls, feature lighting and updated bathrooms.
Situated on a generously proportioned 1,511sqm block that backs onto a bush reserve, the picturesque property was once an orchard and still features mature thriving fruit trees including bananas, lemons, oranges, finger lime, and a mulberry tree, to name a few. The sprawling garden has recently been redesigned by renowned landscape designer Mark Hill and the current owners have also added a vegetable garden and gravel fire pit area.
This unique and enchanting property presents an extremely rare opportunity to secure such an expansive block and renovated home in a sought-after location with beaches, schools, shops and stunning coastal walks all just minutes away.
