Positioned on the top side of the street, this wonderful character cottage offers a blend of old and new, as well as magnificent views of the city. The original building was constructed in 1880 and forms part of the back of the home – especially the kitchen/dining area with original floorboards, old brick chimney forming the base of the island bench and colonial style windows. The renovations undergone, have opened up this portion of the home to create an open plan living/kitchen area which works for our modern lifestyle.
From the adjacent lounge area, you can access the expansive under roof-line front deck, which is enclosed on three sides. Bistro blinds at the front can block out the elements or be raised for al-fresco ambience. This is part of a 1980s brick renovation extending the front out and creating a room under.
The comfortable main bedroom is serviced by walk-in robe and two-way access to the beautifully renovated bathroom. The bathroom boasts a free-standing bath and double vanity, plus large separate shower. The toilet and laundry are cleverly located with access near the back door. A study or small third bedroom is situated off the lounge.
Internal stairs lead us down to the generous sized sunny second bedroom which could also be a home office as it has an external door to the side path.
Along the back of the home a large covered area is the home of an all year-round clothesline and entertaining/storage area. A small rear lane-way can be accessed through a gate at the fence-line. From a side gate in the covered area you can access the side garden – a compact sheltered space for veggie or herb growing.
A brick carport at the front and driveway gives nice off-street parking for 2 vehicles – a premium in homes this close to the city. Established landscaping creates a pretty setting for the home. The central location puts it in easy reach of the CBD and LGH.
The property is currently tenanted at $350 pw till 25/01/2021.
