This beautifully presented home offers the perfect combination of old-world colonial charm blended with a well-designed modern extension. The original 1890’s workers cottage was affectionately named “Beatrice-Leigh”. She still has all the original character features seamlessly flowing to extensive renovations, creating the ideal home to suit a range of living options. The upper level offers three spacious bedrooms, and the lounge room, then leads through to a modern kitchen - with ample bench space, pantry cupboards and a breakfast bar. The kitchen is ideally located to service the adjacent dining room and opens out through bifold doors to a huge rear deck with the perfect northerly aspect. The elevated block offers a beautiful leafy outlook with City glimpses through the canopy of trees. You’ll feel like you’re living in a treehouse. With convenient separation from this living area, we have the bathroom with a large skylight and a separate toilet. Internal stairs lead down to a handy multipurpose room / study / 4th bedroom, under-stairs storage and a separate laundry. There is another room beside the laundry which is plumbed and designed ready to be fitted out for a bathroom. This downstairs area has “higher than legal” ceiling height and has been designed and built to accommodate extra living space or a separate self-contained living area if needed. Another deck flows off this lower living area out to a flat child-friendly yard.
