Close to the Grafton CBD, well suited to commercial pursuits (subject to council approval) and within walking distance to the medical centre and TAFE facilities, this cute cottage has been rental appraised for $290 per week.
The current owners of this classic weatherboard cottage have breathed new life into the home since purchasing in 2010.
Featuring polished red mahogany floorboards, French doors, restored original windows with stained glass, high ceilings and large rooms, the home is surrounded by period-style homes adding to the street appeal.
Painted externally only a couple of years back with roofing and guttering appearing to be in good order, you are left to enjoy the splendour of this lovely piece of Grafton’s heritage.
The owners have invigorated the kitchen and covered in the back veranda while installing new slider doors at the rear.
Two light filled bedrooms at the front of the home and a wrap around sunroom at the rear that could be easily divided to provide a third bedroom if required. The sunroom currently acts as a dining area overlooking the privacy of the back yard and a study nook off the main.
The central living room enjoys a lovely natural air-flow from all directions while the the bathroom has retained its classic period style and offers the shower separate.
The backyard provides a relaxing retreat with the courtyard offering an above ground spa that overlooks the vacant land at the rear. It’s the perfect place for a BBQ with friends or a private spot to unwind at the end of a long day.
The large allotment of approx 787m2 is fully fenced with good access from the road. A garden shed and greenhouse are also inclusive to the home. The landscaping is light and designed for low maintenance living.
