A Norwood style cottage just 10 minutes from the city. We love this house, and leave reluctantly, because of an interstate job transfer.

The house was built around 1890, and has all the character of that era, but it’s very suited to our modern lifestyle, and is an absolute haven when we just want to enjoy down time.There are three large, quiet bedrooms, one is currently used as a study and we have a separate lounge. We entertain often, our family and friends love the conservatory-style dining area, which flows out to the large and very private undercover entertaining area. The well-designed modern kitchen makes preparing meals a breeze.The house is warm and cosy in winter, with an open fireplace in the living room and slow combustion stove in the study/second bedroom. And it?s great for summer living as well, with air-conditioning, plus plenty of shade in both the front and back gardens. We?ll certainly miss our beautiful quiet home so close to the city and hope the new owners will love it as much as we do.?

This charming cottage is near shops, swimming pool, schools, transport, two parks, tennis courts and major gym/health centre, all within walking distance. A short drive/bus trip will get you to the City, the Burnside Village, Norwood, the Avenues, or Woolies at Kensington.

It has a lot to offer – 3 good bedrooms, central living room, 2007 bathroom, fabulous kitchen with stainless steel Asko dishwasher and matching Smeg cooktop, wall oven and microwave.

The Mediterranean style kitchen and dining area has wide glass windows overlooking the rear garden and pergola, great for entertaining.

If you?d like a home with character, tall ornate ceilings, timber floors, leadlight, aircon and combustion heating, then this is a must see.

There?s a security system and a satellite dish for Foxtel.

It sits on a low maintenance block with a low maintenance, secure rear yard, ideal for barbeques, pets and children.

An attractive home that will appeal to first home buyers, small families, professionals, right-sizers, singles and investors. Would also ideally suit home/office set-up.
