Calling all artists, creatives, and anyone with an appreciation for homes with soul: this century-old cottage will win your heart. Quirky in all the best ways and with upgrades and replacements where it counts, it's also a home you'll be delighted to share. Whether you're relaxing on the delightful verandah with a cuppa and your favourite person, hosting a handful of friends in the gorgeous paved entertaining area, or simply sitting under a tree as resident birds serenade you, there's a feeling of warmth and charm here that you'll never tire of. With 3 bedrooms plus an activity or study space it will comfortably accommodate a family or a couple, and with updated internal and external walls throughout it's a surprisingly low maintenance home that will stand the test of time for decades still to come.
The best thing about this lovely cottage is that it's as practical as it is pretty. The kitchen is a prime example, with the modern, high quality kitchen appliances juxta-positioned perfectly against the subway tiling of the splashback, reclaimed materials of the island bench, and bold pops of colour. The iconic Metters stove is a special touch and just one of the rustic original features found throughout the home. Warming the open plan living area is the cosy wood fire, and with such an inviting al fresco entertaining space attached you'll probably want to add a backyard fire pit to gather around on chilly evenings as well. Comfort and individuality all at once! Perfect.

This big 1,945sqm block is quintessential Mount Helena. Natural bushland merges with ornamental plants, fruit trees, rock walls, and cultivated gardens to create a lush, magical vibe that simply can't be replicated. The large workshop offers opportunity for creativity, the solar panels help minimise utilities costs, and the new triple carport keeps vehicles safe from feathered and furry friends in the trees above. The surrounding area is undeniably beautiful, with sprawling parkland and reserves inviting exploration on foot or by bike. Schools, shops, and sports clubs are conveniently located, and anyone with a love of horses will be thrilled by the proximity of that staple Hills facility: the equestrian centre. There's so much here to be charmed by.
