Commanding an enviable elevated street presence, this gorgeous original 19th century cottage has been tastefully updated to blend an old-style workers cottage character home with modern architecture. Externally the property known as Bledlow cottage, which derives its name from the England's historic county of Buckinghamshire, projects a nostalgic tilt to yesteryear, whereas inside the home you are gifted with all the modern amenities for the comfort of today's living.
Entry via a grand stairway from Cricket Street through the tropical floral garden presents a picture-perfect view of the front of the home and leads you directly onto the first of three external living spaces. The front deck offers a welcoming vista over Cricket Street where you can enjoy the sights and sounds of the surrounding area.
As you step inside the home you are greeted with an open-plan lounge and dining area seamlessly connected to the modern kitchen through a convenient servery. There are two immaculate, generously sized bedrooms, complete with built-ins and ceiling fans. As you move further into the home, a thoughtfully designed bathroom with modern amenities awaits, accompanied by a separate WC for added privacy. The galley-style kitchen, equipped with updated stainless-steel appliances, stylish tiling, timber benches, and easy entertaining access complete the main living level. A smooth transition leads to an architecturally designed undercover and recently extended rear deck, a delightful oasis amidst serene, landscaped gardens.
Venture upstairs via the spiral staircase to discover an expansive loft, a versatile space perfect for an office, guest quarters, rumpus, gym, or any multifunctional use you can dream of! It boasts an outdoor viewing deck, offering yet another vantage point to appreciate the extended Northerly views. The lower level with an electric gated entry offers a neatly organized laundry area with retractable doors, a substantial 10-square-meter storage space, and concrete parking for two cars. As a bonus and rarity in Petrie Terrace there is an additional third off-street parking space at the rear of the home.
