Beautifully ensconced in a low-traffic high-amenity location surrounded by glorious character residences that echo a bygone era, this irresistible 1900s Bluestone-fronted, 3-bedroom attached cottage occupies a privileged position in a prime locale.
Pretty as a picture with enviable street appeal, this captivating period home is introduced by a perky picket fence and traditional bullnose front verandah. Once inside, the high ceilings, graceful arched hallway, leadlight, original Baltic timber flooring, open fireplaces and deep skirtings are all reminders of its classic heritage.
Three double bedrooms are located in the cottage's original footprint. With an outlook to the front garden, the master bedroom offers fitted robes and shelving; while two further bedrooms feature delightful ornate fireplaces; the second with built-in robes. The neat, fully-tiled bathroom with corner spa bath, overhead shower and w.c. also accommodates a concealed Euro laundry.
But it is the rear of the property to which everyone will be drawn. Stretching full width and amplifying the space, this skylit, contemporary extension is characterised by the breathtaking pitched ceiling with timber beams extending over the living/dining zone and soaring up to reveal the mezzanine floor. Offering an impressive setting for relaxing, dining and fabulous get-togethers, a number of charming wall sconces light the area by night and the vast expanse of glazing allows natural light to flood inside during the day. Here, a wall of bi-fold doors open to connect the indoors with the covered, North-facing alfresco deck making a perfect free-flowing indoor-outdoor space, which is superbly private and provides areas of shade and sun - with the small lawn offering an area for children and pets to play.
Adjacent the dining, the kitchen is stylishly fitted with white cabinetry offset by charcoal benchtops, a stainless steel dishwasher, rangehood and Bosch oven with 5-burner gas cooktops.
Carpeted stairs wind up to the mezzanine floor that overlooks the living/dining domain and provides perfect areas for a private sitting/reading nook and study/office space.
