This gorgeous character home is just three minutes from the city yet sits in its own oasis of calm, space and privacy. Historic “Thrower Cottage” sits on a large parcel of land, approx 1619 square metres on two titles, with beautiful, established gardens offering views across to The Gorge. Built in the 1890′s for Thomas Thrower, the original cottage has been extended and upgraded, while keeping some lovely character features. The house itself is like a Tardis, with a deceptive cottage facade but once inside you will be amazed at what is on offer. The space and versatile layout will suit big families and blended/ extended familes. There are two rooms on the ground floor, currently used as huge bedrooms but equally suitable as rumpus, study or living areas. There is external access from this area, so it may have potential for other uses. On the first floor is a large kitchen, formal dining room and an open plan living area that opens through French doors to a paved patio. Also on this level is the main bathroom and laundry and a storage area. Upstairs there is a second living room which could also be a study or the fifth bedroom, another bedroom/study and the main bedroom and ensuite. The home has been fully renovated, with new carpet, reverse cycle heating and cooling, lovely ensuite off the main bedroom, brand new main bathroom and laundry and a very spacious well equipped kitchen. Don’t just drive by this one; an inspection is the only way to really appreciate the features and lifestyle this wonderful property has to offer.
