You'll have driven past this quaint cottage thousands of times in your life, & commented on its appeal, but there's a secret here you could never have dreamed of.
This solid brick, Heritage listed property is intriguing & enchanting, fascinating & charming; if you appreciate character properties, their individual peculiarities & quirkiness, then this is one you will not want to see slip through your fingers.
In days gone by, this property was characteristic of its C1860 era. A central hallway, 2 rooms off either side of the hall, you know the drill. At some stage a portion of this central hallway has been removed opening the living room into a larger space which offers both a beautiful, functioning open fire place together with a near-new gas heater.
There are 2 double bedrooms & in the 1980s one of the main rooms has been converted into a lovely bathroom with concealed laundry, this has been updated recently providing tasteful, stylish amenity for the home. If urban stories are to be believed, it is possible that in the late 1800s, a commercial laundry operated here! We understand that what is now the kitchen, used to be an open space at the rear of the original home, however the gorgeous family room at the rear, used to be a large laundry room.
This beautiful, bright family/living room which basks in hours of sun all day has 2 sets of French doors providing a delightful lure to the outdoors, one of this property's most attractive features.
One set of the French doors opens up to a paved, sandstone courtyard where you'll be able to sit in privacy, read a magazine, sip on a wine at the end of the day, enjoy a barbeque with friends, it's a flexible area for outdoor living.
All these features, and yet we still haven't let you in on the secret! At the rear of this home is a beautiful cottage garden. It's hard to imagine such a sunny, lush oasis exists in such close proximity of the CBD. Various botanical delights intermingle with one another all the way up the sides of this surprisingly long parcel of land, & there's a lush lawn offering enough room for a dog to play.
This is a fascinating home steeped in history. The character offered by convict brick, floor boards, fire places, quirks and foibles are unique and interesting. Ideal for professionals & couples as a city residence, investors also will be interested in this property (recently returning $560 per week).
