Nestled amongst the beautiful old gums of Hawthorndene stands this commanding and beautiful solid stone symmetrical cottage. Built c1915, the cottage has seldom been offered for sale over its lifetime.

Set in a gorgeous winter creek setting on a large 1576m corner allotment, garden sprawls over all four sides of the property, giving a sense of space, tranquillity and privacy.

Extended over the years to accommodate evolving needs, the house has managed to seamlessly mix old with new, and is updated in classical contemporary style living as well as maintaining the beautiful cottage charm complete with ornate fire places and a striking exposed stone wall.

The floor to ceiling windows allow plenty of natural light and captures the ambience of the garden, where the kids can play safely, your dog can explore freely and the chooks can enjoy a generous size run. The cypress deck overlooking the garden cleverly extends to the western side entertaining area, allowing you to soak up the winter sun and entertain friends in summer under the shade of the mature trees.

Offering polished floors throughout, the cottage has 3 double sized bedrooms, all with beautiful high timber panelling ceilings which demand a sense of space and calm. There are two living areas, both with near new Nectre fireplaces to keep you warm. The western red cedar country- style kitchen is the heart of the home and offers plenty of cupboard space, an island bench and gas stainless steel range. The separate dining area offers a creek and garden view while still allowing the family chef to entertain guests and spectators from the kitchen.

The 1 and 1/2 bathrooms are recently renovated and includes a traditional free-standing claw bath & double vanity. Complete with LED down lights and ceiling fans throughout, split A/C and near new hot water, the house is ready to move in and enjoy.

There is ample powered shedding for the workshop enthusiast and rainwater storage for the keen gardener.
