If homes were carnival characters, this one would be the jester, brining brightness and joy to all who inhabit it. Peering from the road, the homes frontage reveals little of the character filled retreat that lies beyond, the lush screen of native bushland and established trees creating a private environment within the quiet corner block. But moving beyond the living screen, you happen upon the sometimes quirky and always charismatic cottage with an interior that warms the soul.
The first taste of its ‘break the mould’ styling can be found on the shady front veranda entrance, with unique cut metal flower detail a cute flourish to the homes introduction. A friendly blue door leads you inside the home, where unexpectedly, sleek renovated styling and enhanced original features provide a relaxed and appealing environment.
First stop is the open lounge, which showcases refurbished original floorboards and a hearty brick fireplace with wooden mantle, The chunky old awning windows provide solidity, and a view from the lounge to the outside gardens, always full of birdlife due to the sheer mass of foliage.
Just across the way, the huge king sized master bedroom adopts the same character features, with high ceilings, floorboards and a gorgeous damask roman blind amongst a neutral colour palate.
Conveniently placed to service the entire home, the bathroom is prefixed by a double linen closet, and features a homely combination of solid wood and crisp white tiling, with a toilet, vanity and shower hovering over a nice bath.
Most of the rear part of the home is taken up by a truly special kitchen and dining area, which really is individual and personality filled in every way. Even the dividing door between the front and back section of the home ads a splash of colour, with its intricate leadlight design.
Enhanced by a near full wall of French panels and double French doors along the rear wall, it has a sense of elegance but also country charm. The kitchen itself is a newly renovated, rustic chic style, with raw wood finish cabinets, yellow and blue tiling, stainless steel oven and cooktop and rich midnight blue bench tops.
An extra high cabled ceiling acts as a generous canopy, effectively creating the feelings of even more space, while the reverse cycle air conditioner keeps a beautiful temperature all the year through.
Two more queen size bedrooms lead from this space, with neutral palates that accompany any decor.
Finally, stepping through the glamorous French doors, you find the entertainer’s patio, a space to sit, glass in hand, and admire the spacious yard with your crew.
Topped off by a double garage with metal design gates and drive through access, a bumper veggie garden, separate carport and colour bond fencing, this little jester will have a smile plastered on your face right from the get go.
