Privately nestled behind botanical gardens just moments from Main Street, this enchanting single-level weatherboard home captivates with light-filled character interiors, premium appointments, and seamless indoor-outdoor living.
Set on a generous 549sqm* laneway-bordered block behind elegant picket fencing, professionally designed lawn-free parterre gardens embrace the cottage on three sides.
