Nestled on a generous corner block, behind a tall fence in a private and sunny northern garden, 'Rose Cottage,' is a quaint and pretty freestanding double fronted Edwardian weatherboard home c1910 that evokes timeless beauty, charm and elegance. Affectionately known as 'Rosie', a hedge lined windy path leads to a classic and striking facade featuring beautiful original coloured leadlight glass and a traditional veranda overlooking the delightful hydrangeas, lavender and birdbath.
Bathing in northern sunlight, the home pays homage to its heritage with ornate coloured leadlight glass featured throughout. A central hallway with polished Kauri Pine floors leads to an open plan living room and dining room with double doors that open up to the veranda and garden, providing for modern and flexible indoor and outdoor living. Two double bedrooms with ample built-in robes, the glamorous master bedroom features an elegant bay seat window and sweet bow coloured leadlight glass sash windows.
A period-style bathroom with a clawfoot bath, euro laundry and updated kitchen equipped with a Bosch dishwasher and Euromaid stove. A sensational wide, entertaining deck framed by a pair of Silver Birch trees completes the picture, providing a private oasis for entertaining family and friends. Other features include ducted heating, evaporative cooling and secure off-street parking.
Recently updated throughout with no heritage overlay, Rose Cottage can be enjoyed immediately with potential and scope to develop in the future and leave your own mark (STCA). Located in a highly sought after location and a stone's throw from the delightful cafes, shops and restaurants at Willsmere village, minutes from Kew junction, Yarra Bend Park and Studley Park Boathouse, public transport, easy access to the Eastern Freeway and close proximity to some of Victoria's most prestigious private and public schools, Rose Cottage offers an exclusive, enviable and family friendly lifestyle.
