You won't be able to help it; one look at this gorgeous classic weatherboard cottage and you'll fall head-over-heels.
There's a lot to love about it. A white picket fence and a gabled iron roof. A bullnose veranda that enjoys the northern sunshine. A pretty garden with hibiscus and climbing roses - and that's before you even walk through the front door!
Inside, the circa 1920 cottage has been beautifully renovated, restored and extended by the owners, with a new kitchen, bathroom and ensuite added, as well as an extra bedroom.
Its beauty is in its simplicity - gleaming Baltic pine and jarrah floors, white-painted walls with timber dado paneling, and white shutters on the sash windows.
A big bedroom overlooking the veranda has a 'secret' door to a second bedroom, perfect for guests or even as a home office - it has its own doors leading to the back garden. The main bedroom is romantic in all-white, with a modern, freestanding oval bath in the ensuite.
A brick fireplace in the open-plan meals and living room ensures you'll always be cosy in winter, and on warmer days, you can fling open the French doors to a private timber-decked courtyard.
The new kitchen is stunning, with sparkling white stone benchtops and a white glass splashback, dark cabinetry and Wandoo floors. All the home chef's must-haves are here - stainless-steel appliances, loads of storage including soft-closing drawers, and an integrated dishwasher.
A second bathroom and laundry is tucked away off the kitchen.
But what really steals the scene is the beautiful back garden, perfectly framed by 3metre, floor-to-ceiling glass doors that stack completely open, bringing the garden indoors. The owner, a landscape designer, has created a private oasis that deserves exploring, from the hedge-bordered lawn perfect for children's playtime, to the herb and vegetable patches, bulbs and bay trees - there's even a pond and a garden shed.
A spacious timber deck is the perfect spot to sit and enjoy the view.
It's a little spot of paradise in a perfect location between the river and the sea, within walking distance to St Hildas and Iona, and close to the popular Glyde Street cafe strip.
