9 Macartney Street, Paddington QLD 4064

Take a step back into Paddington's rich history and become the custodian of Bill's-hill Cottage, a lovingly restored cottage dating from 1886. With three owners since it was first built over 130 years ago, the nine-room property resonates with history and is filled with original details and materials that have been meticulously and sensitively restored by the current owners.

Behind the charming, traditional facade you will find a generously proportioned home with carefully considered modernised areas such as the family-sized kitchen and tiled bathrooms, all designed with a nod to the house's rich heritage.

There are three bedrooms, all with built-in cupboards and accessed off the generous central hallway. The kitchen and living areas are located at the rear of the property and open to the covered entertaining area and the delightful North facing landscaped garden. The formal lounge and dining room are also accessed from the central hall with the lounge french-doors opening on to the South facing front verandah

Heritage colours have been used throughout and the house abounds with original fixtures such as doors, windows, locks, fretwork, switches and ironmongery. The original hoop pine floorboards have been lightly sanded and correctly finished with Tung oil, an attention to detail that exemplifies the care that has been put into the renovation of this property. A comprehensive history of the house is available and a bound book will be presented to the new custodians of Bill's-hill Cottage.

There is scope to add value to the property by building in underneath and a swimming pool could also be added to the rear garden, all without fear of over-capitalising.

Sitting in the heart of Paddington on an elevated North-facing 461m2 block, the home benefits from far-ranging views and a quiet, convenient location. It is a brief stroll to Latrobe Terrace and shopping at Paddington Central, the cafes and restaurants of Rosalie Village are minutes away, and it is in the catchment area of Milton State School. Prestigious private schools such as Stuartholme Girls School and Brisbane Grammar are a short drive away.

Bill's-hill Cottage - a golden opportunity to secure a piece of Paddington's rich history.
