Character cottage with a ‘nooks & crannies’ garden.
Hidden away from the trials & tribulations of everyday life, this charming cottage & its surrounds could be the idyllic retreat you've been longing for. Abutting a peaceful green belt studded with towering white eucalypts there should be no shortage of bird life to entertain you. Wander down the long driveway flanked with agapanthus & at its end you'll discover a semi Tudor-styled, rendered brick garage & gated arbour - an exciting entry into another world! Artfully, the bright green of the climbing star jasmine & wisteria-covered boundary fencing complement the salmon-hued painted surfaces. And look out for the meandering gravel pathways that will guide you to the picket fence protecting the raised, organic veggie garden beds. The extremely leafy, private garden has been effectively parcelled up into several garden rooms - one is flanked by a dry-stacked stone wall & is further enhanced by a partly cantilevered timber deck, screening foliage & an inviting BBQ area; another flaunts checkerboard paving which grounds the traditional Hill's Hoist clothes line; yet another offers a sunny, spacious brick-walled courtyard that is characterised by a huge shade sail & another deck - it adjoins the main living area so would be especially ideal for outdoor dining or entertaining. Interestingly, this charismatic home offers a choice of three entry & exit points. The most obvious & convenient is via the original back door which now operates as a formal entry with stylish colonial door & featured terracotta-tiled flooring. To the left of the long, polished pine-floored hallway the eat-in kitchen is central to the property. Though not overly large, the country-style painted timber cabinetry, dark pseudo-marble bench tops, brick tile splashbacks & modern upright Smeg gas cooker seamlessly paint a pleasant picture. Beyond this space the light-filled lounge features ochre-yellow & contrasting apricot suede-effect walls, pot belly stove, duo doors to the deck & reverse cycle air conditioning. All three bedrooms are large, light & airy with double floor-to-ceiling doors in two. The timber floor theme is carried on in them as well but they each have a unique defining wall colour, setting them apart. Venetian blinds adorn most of the windows & solar heating is another boon. Within the thoughtfully renovated bathroom, sky-blue floor tiling & white walls sets the scene for the pedestal basin, mirrored shaving cabinet, Tastic heater/light, & shower over the bath tub. The laundry is neatly positioned behind routed bi-fold doors & has benefits that include additional shelving, cupboard space & coat hooks. As most view their residential home as a long term investment, the RZ2 zoning augurs well for long term capital growth, as well as providing future construction opportunities.
