Inside 3 Alfred Street, the Parkside story unfolds… Originally known as "Kulburra," this bluestone character cottage C.1880 has been carefully preserved and subtly restored without interfering with its array of classic assets.
Enclosed by a charming brush fencing with a barn-style pedestrian gate to seal privacy inwards, the hedged frontage warmly welcomes. As you enter, four bedrooms line the cottage front, each opening off the grand central arched hallway with cluster globe pendant lights overhead. Three of the bedrooms retain their original fireplaces as ornamental focal points, set within bold feature walls and topped by ornate cornices that give each room its own mood. Restored timber floorboards run throughout, and modern blinds, curtains and fans have been added for comfort without disturbing the homes timeless origins.
Past the central bathroom, the hallway opens out into a generous rear extension where the ceiling lifts into a raked line and one of the original bluestone walls has been exposed as an interior feature and slate floors sweeps underfoot. A gas fireplace anchors the living zone, while the kitchen runs along the opposite wall with crisp White cabinetry, quality Smeg and Miele appliances, stone-topped benches and an island that doubles as a gathering point for morning coffees or long conversations. Large glass windows frame a central covered courtyard space, while a second undercover alfresco space is located at the rear overlooking a neat lawn contained by a white picket fence. A narrow side passage provides access to the rear for off- street parking, reached via the neighbouring laneway.
