Set within a quiet and fittingly romantic street, this charming weatherboard cottage has been thoughtfully restored and extended, combining extraordinary craftsmanship and period character with the comfort and functionality of modern family living. Homes of this calibre and character rarely come to market, and from the moment you step inside, there is a sense of quality, care and attention to detail that is difficult to capture through photographs alone.
Stepping inside, you are welcomed by soaring 3.1m high ceilings and a spacious central hallway, with wide timber floorboards extending throughout the entire home. High skirting boards, classic timber architraves, tall casement windows, ornate plaster ceiling roses and period pendant lighting create a sophisticated yet warm interior that beautifully reflects the character of a bygone era.
The impressive extension, crafted by renowned local builder Lance Lennard, has been seamlessly integrated with the original home, with its weatherboards and internal timber flooring carefully matched to the existing character of the original boards. An extensive list of works has been undertaken throughout the home, including a complete electrical rewire, replacement of the roof and a host of other thoughtful updates, with considerable care and investment already poured into creating a home that requires nothing more than for its next family to move in and enjoy.
At the heart of the home, the spacious open-plan living, dining and kitchen area creates an inviting family hub. Custom cabinetry adds both practicality and style to the living space, while the entire area flows effortlessly outdoors to a beautifully landscaped rear yard. The hardwood entertaining deck provides an ideal setting for alfresco dining and entertaining, complete with a gas outlet and power, all overlooking the private and lush green surrounds.
The three bedrooms are all generously proportioned, with the master bedroom enjoying the added luxury of a recently renovated ensuite. Ducted air-conditioning throughout ensures year-round comfort, while two separate living areas provide plenty of space for both relaxed family living and entertaining.
The stunning kitchen takes centre stage and has been thoughtfully positioned to connect effortlessly with both the indoor and outdoor entertaining areas. Featuring modern appliances and plenty of space for family and friends, it combines everyday functionality with an inviting sense of connection to the rest of the home.
The main bathroom is equally impressive, creating a luxurious retreat with sleek tiling, a freestanding bathtub, stone-topped vanity and open shower with a niche.
Outside, the accommodation continues with an exceptional 6.5m x 11.9m shed complete with power and an electric roller door, complemented by an attached 6.5m x 6.4m high-clearance caravan carport. Whether you need space for vehicles, caravans, motorcycles, a workshop or simply want room to pursue your hobbies, this is an incredibly versatile addition to an already impressive property.
There is an undeniable romance to this home, found in the details that have been so carefully preserved, the craftsmanship that has gone into bringing it back to life and the thoughtful way its original character has been blended with modern family comforts. It is a home with soul, warmth and a story of its own, the kind of place that feels special from the moment you arrive and even more so the longer you spend here.
Perhaps fittingly, it all comes together here on Love Street. A truly rare opportunity to call such a beautiful home your own, where only one lucky family will have the privilege of making it their new home and creating memories here for years to come.
