Desirable cottage/villa with original features

Sandstone-Fronted c. 1915 Symmetrical Cottage adj Royston Park.

Behind the picturesque facade is a creatively renovated and extended character home that blends perfectly the charms of yesterday with a contemporary style of living, offering any astute buyer excellent accommodation.

Once inside the gates you’ll be entranced by features such as the tessellated-tiled front verandah and the polished floorboards that run the full length of the traditional long, central hall. You’ll be led into a spacious, light-filled open-plan family room that is adjacent to both the kitchen and a delightful bay-windowed dining area with northerly aspect and garden views.

This much-loved property comprises formal and informal living areas: there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, master with generous walk-in robes and en-suite, plus a formal sitting room that could easily be utilized as a 4th bedroom if required. The newly renovated 3-way family bathroom is conveniently located to all bedrooms and living areas. The laundry has built-in storage and external access.

In the original rooms of the 4-room symmetrical cottage you will find three open fireplaces with timber mantels, lofty ceilings, high skirtings, sash windows and stained glass. All three bedrooms are double in size and have ceiling fans.

You’ll enjoy cooking in the well-planned gourmet kitchen with its walk-in pantry, excellent cupboard storage, including custom-made spice drawers, granite bench tops and European stainless steel appliances, including dishwasher.

Other improvements include a generous fully-fenced allotment offering pretty, established gardens, paved entertainment area, gazebo, ducted reverse-cycle A/C, huge garage/workshop with power and a double-length carport.

This stunning property is ideally situated, being close to the CBD, good schools, and within easy walking distance to shops, transport and the linear park with its extensive walking and cycle trails.
