Timelessly appealing and rich with character and charm, this freestanding c1910 double-fronted, 3 bedroom cottage beauty graces a North-facing allotment in the heart of a highly desired precinct. Captivating with its renovated contemporary flair, restored original elements and private garden setting, this blissfully low-maintenance cottage is perfect for downsizers, busy couples or small families.
Beyond the white picket fence and perfectly set amidst a sun-soaked garden with front hedge, lawn and a row of iceberg roses, the pretty period facade with bullnose verandah creates a lasting impression.
The central hallway introduces rooms in the home's original footprint - understated in style, with lovely leadlight, lofty ceilings with intricate cornices, ceiling roses, deep skirtings, open fireplaces and floorboards, against an all-white backdrop.
A pair of generous double bedrooms front the home, adorned by stunning fireplaces with ornate timber fireplace mantels and surrounds, and fitted with built-in robes and ceiling fans; while the third bedroom also features a wall of built-in robes and overhead fan. The slick, contemporary bathroom is fully-tiled and boasts broad-format floor tiling, floating vanity, large frameless glass shower and w.c.
The central lounge room is a warm and welcoming space and stars another beautiful fireplace book-ended by built-in shelving and cabinetry. From here, step into the updated rear living domain, where the open plan dining/kitchen is filled with natural light and backdropped by private garden views. Revolving around an impressive central island and enjoying the same idyllic outlook, the modern kitchen sparkles with white cabinetry (soft-closing drawers, microwave nook), stunning charcoal-coloured double sink, pantry, stainless steel rangehood, Bosch oven (gas cooktops) and dishwasher.
Step out through sliding doors from the adjacent dining zone to an extensive full-width paved entertaining courtyard protected by a pitched-roof pergola and set against a back lawn framed by raised garden beds - the ideal environment for relaxed alfresco living and entertaining.
