This lovely 1940s character cottage takes in beautiful ocean views and enjoys numerous advantages of its prime location a few minutes’ walk from iconic Middleton Beach.
It has been tastefully modernised while retaining many original features and now presents as a comfortable home to delight a wide scope of buyers.
The timber, weatherboard and iron cottage occupies an easy-care block of 351sqm with a sizeable front deck overlooking the leafy garden.
Inside, original timber floors, window frames and doors blend stylishly with modern appointments.
At the back of the home, where the views are, is a spacious, open area incorporating the family room, dining space and kitchen. A sizeable work area with jarrah cabinetry and a new stainless steel gas stove, the kitchen enjoys a sunny northern aspect from a window over the sink.
The air-conditioned family room also has big windows looking out across the bay to Gull Rock National Park â an outlook which opens up further from the adjoining sunroom to bring both Michaelmas and Breaksea Islands into view. This is also a terrific spot for watching ships moving into the harbour and whales frolicking in the bay.
French doors separate the sunroom from the lounge, an inviting room with an efficient wood fire set in the original brick fireplace.
The queen-sized master bedroom has an adjoining room, ideal for use as a nursery or walk-in robe and dressing room, though it’s also easily big enough for conversion to an en suite bathroom.
One of the other bedrooms is a good-sized double and the third is a king, big enough to take multiple kids’ beds.
At the rear is a cleverly designed wet room combining the bathroom, with a new bath and shower, and the laundry. Next to this is the toilet.
Fresh décor, new lighting and blinds and security screens at the external doors are other advantages of this highly appealing property.
Its location about 1km to the coast and major tourist precinct of Middleton Beach is another major drawcard for people of all ages.
