6 Dunstan Street, Sailors Gully VIC 3556

THIS is no ordinary miners cottage. The stately iron railing fence along the front tells you that. Set on a quarter of an acre (approx.) it offers comfort, warmth and the latest in appliances in its modern kitchen.
And in terms of amenities this home is right up there with ducted evaporative cooling, gas heating, solar hot water and 4.9 kilowatt solar system on 30c feed-in tariff transferable to the new owner.
Thick lush grass grows either side of a long gravel path leading to the front door. A bullnose verandah adds its own charm.
Timber features astound throughout the home, in some rooms painted white to reflect the light, in others left in its natural state.
You step inside to a bright, white hallway with timber dado walls and light 'timber-look' flooring.
Three good-size bedrooms all have dado walls and plenty of natural light. The main also has an Oregon mantelpiece and surround.
A big lounge room with a gas heater in a decorative fireplace surround is further along the hallway as is a three-piece bathroom where a corner spa bath offers a touch of luxury.
The floating timber floor continues into a vestibule which has a door opening to a side patio before entering a modern kitchen where up-to-date appliances including a dishwasher and 900mm stainless steel fan force electric oven and gas cooktop sit happily with timber walls and ceiling and a gas log fire in a carved fireplace surround. It's a clever mix of the old with the new.
A large box bay window presides over the dining area.
You'll love the walk-in pantry and the very large laundry. From here you step onto a side verandah that overlooks a paved patio under shade sails and a fully fenced above ground salt-chlorinated pool.
Up to four vehicles can be accommodated with a double carport and a large shed with concrete floor, power and light.
There's also a rainwater tank and a garden shed.
