Rich in history and brimming with character, this beautifully preserved circa 1880 cottage presents an opportunity to enjoy the charm of a bygone era without compromising on modern comfort. Occupying a low maintenance allotment in one of Woodside's most convenient locations, the home offers a lifestyle where everything you need is just a short stroll away, yet the moment you arrive home, it feels wonderfully private and peaceful.
Lovingly looked after and thoughtfully enhanced over its' years, the property has recently undergone extensive renovations that have further elevated its appeal. Freshly painted inside and out, the home feels bright and welcoming, while new built-in robes have been installed in all 3 of the bedrooms, adding valuable storage without detracting from the cottage's timeless character.
Stepping inside, a generous formal sitting room immediately sets the tone, where an ornate fireplace creates a beautiful focal point and hints at the home's rich heritage. French doors open through to the heart of the home, where an expansive open-plan kitchen, living and dining area provides a relaxed space for everyday family life and entertaining alike.
Reverse-cycle air conditioning and the warmth of a slow-combustion wood heater ensure year-round comfort, creating an inviting atmosphere in every season.
Beyond the main residence, the property continues to impress with a recently renovated studio conversion that significantly expands this property's versatility. Whether envisioned as the ultimate teenage retreat, guest accommodation, a creative studio or a home office, this separate space provides endless possibilities. It features its own large living area, bedroom and a provision has been made for a bathroom, which will need to be completed. However, all the bathroom fixtures and fittings have been bought, are in boxes ready to be installed and will remain with the property, allowing the new owner to complete the bathroom exactly as intended. Notably, all bathroom selections are of high quality, including marble vanity top, heated towel rail, shower with handheld head, etc, of a 'Hamptons style' feel. Additionally, 2 Velux windows have been bought, ready to be installed to let the natural light flood through into the rooms. This studio also includes an upgraded switchboard independent of the main home.
Outside, new retaining walls have enhanced both the functionality and presentation of the grounds, chickens enjoy their safe yard and a spacious barn provides undercover entertaining area with authentic country lifestyle appeal creating the perfect setting for relaxed afternoons with family and friends.
Vehicle accommodation is another outstanding feature, with secure access via an automatic panel-lift door leading to extensive undercover parking and workshop space. Whether you have multiple vehicles, a treasured project car, require additional storage or simply appreciate having room to tinker, this impressive area will undoubtedly be a major drawcard.
Perhaps the greatest luxury of all is the lifestyle. From your front gate, it is only moments to Woodside's thriving café scene, boutique shopping, community gardens and the Amy Gillett Bikeway. Foodland, medical facilities, the post office, library, sporting grounds, swimming pool and local pubs are all within comfortable walking distance, making it easy to leave the car at home and enjoy everything this welcoming Hills community has to offer. If you have kids that love to ride bikes, the beloved 'Woody Trails' is within eyesight.
