Sustainable Living at Autumn Cottage | Step into a world of timeless charm and modern comfort with this stunning character home brimming with period features, nestled in a peaceful and family friendly area amidst beautiful gardens, all on a generous 702sqm (approx.) allotment. Thoughtfully updated, both inside and out, this is a rare opportunity to purchase a home of this style in Mt Eliza.
From the moment you arrive, you will be captivated by the home's warmth and rich heritage, with striking polished timber floors, high ceilings, decorative architraves and cornices, exquisite leadlight windows, original door handles, and window shutters. A picturesque window seat in the entry hall invites you to bask in the golden glow of natural sunlight while admiring the serenity of your surroundings.
At the heart of the home, the recently renovated kitchen seamlessly blends modern luxury with classic charm. Featuring elegant stone benchtops, a farmhouse style sink, ample storage and an antique style Belling cooker, this space is both functional and stylish. The delightful dining boasts the gorgeous character features of picture rail and divine sash windows. While the spacious separate living room exudes sophistication featuring the showstopping Cheminees Philippe enclosed wood fire, promising warmth and ambiance during the cooler months, and French doors opening to the covered verandah and backyard.
The main bedroom is a private retreat, complete with its own ensuite and walk-in robe, while two additional bedrooms share a heritage-style bathroom featuring a clawfoot bath. There is also a study and for ultimate convenience, a third toilet located within the laundry.
Designed with sustainability and lifestyle in mind, the backyard is a haven for nature lovers and those seeking self-sufficiency. A flourishing greenhouse, chicken coop, and established fruit trees—including lemon, apple, and nectarine invite you to enjoy fresh, homegrown produce. Children will delight in their very own playground, while a spacious garden shed provides ample storage.
Further additions include ducted heating, evaporative cooling, split system cooling, ceiling fans, solar panels, water tanks and a double carport. A rare find indeed with the Peninsula's best schooling, popular cafes and boutiques of Mount Eliza Village, the rugged serenity of its bay beaches, and the local's favourite at The Corner Pantry cafe all within easy reach nearby.
