Charming Agnes Cottage is a well-maintained California Bungalow nestled in established, easy care landscaped gardens in the small town of Toora, South Gippsland.
Located on the quiet main street of the town, this historic house was once home to renowned local farmer, turned photographer, John Gunn, whose evocative photos recorded the people and history of the greater South Gippsland district in the early years of the 20th century.
Extensively renovated by more recent owners, Agnes Cottage now offers its occupants period style plus modern amenities, and comprises 3 bedrooms, 2 renovated bathrooms and sun-drenched living areas.
The house has a gracious street presence.
The cleverly planted cottage style gardens have been designed to ensure something is in flower almost all year.
As you head through the front gate to the front door, the spacious front veranda, envelopes you, offering the perfect place to sit, read, or watch the world go slowly by.
Stepping into the house, high ceilings create an airy ambience rarely found in an older home.
The light, open plan living zone, with lounge, dining and kitchen areas, is warmed by a slow combustion wood fire in Winter and cooled with a split system aircon unit when required.
The generous master bedroom sits at the front of the house and features floor to ceiling French doors, walk-in robe and large, modern, ensuite bathroom.
The 2nd bedroom has the same striking French doors as the master bedroom and is used as an office by the current owners. It could also be a formal lounge and has a slow combustion wood stove set in an attractive fireplace.
At the rear of the home, a long sunroom, provides access to the family bathroom,
a third guest bedroom and laundry/utility room.
The wrap around rear deck, offers a perfect place for a peaceful morning coffee.
