Built circa 1902, 222 Rocket Street is a classic Federation cottage with red brick, contrasting quoins, tall chimneys, cast-iron lacework and a bullnose verandah behind a white picket fence. The period details have been kept, and the home has been updated for modern family living.
A central hall leads to three generous bedrooms with high ceilings, timber-framed windows, and ceiling fans. At the rear, the open-plan kitchen and family area has polished floorboards and a fully renovated kitchen. It features a large island bench with stone benchtops, a 900mm cooktop and oven, a subway-tile splashback and plenty of storage. Original fireplace mantels with decorative corbels and a gas fire add warmth and character.
Outside, the covered alfresco runs almost 8 metres long, with an outdoor kitchen and BBQ area, an overhead heater and stone paving. It flows out to a level lawn with a fire pit, garden beds, and a kids' play area. The bathroom has a bath, separate shower and vanity, and combines with the laundry.
The laneway off Rankin Street is part of the title, giving you your own rear access. That's a rare find this close to the CBD, and it's handy for parking, deliveries or storage.
