In an emerging suburb brim-full of eclectic character, this C1910 symmetrical cottage looks right at home on a sprawling corner parcel, charming you with every step from its picket fence to rear swimming pool.
A light-catching, cathedral-ceilinged rear addition almost doubled the footprint of this solar-powered 3-bedroom home with a dual living zones to go with its prized side road access and four-car garage.
Old-world character is given room to linger through the original footprint, from Baltic pine floors and sash windows to soaring ceilings and ornate fireplaces, before the central lounge slows the pace beautifully, its exposed brick and timber detailing creating a warm, atmospheric counterpoint to the light-filled addition.
Beneath the cathedral ceiling, the kitchen becomes the room everyone gravitates towards, its generous island, shaker-style silhouette and 110cm Belling vintage cooker showering in light from the clerestory windows above.
Beyond it, summer has an obvious destination beside the fenced pool, while espaliered apple and pear trees, lemons, passionfruit, pomegranate, productive veggie beds and a chook pen forge a distinctly garden-to-plate way of life.
Four split systems, solar, that extensive garaging and shedding/workshopping, plus plan and approval for a further extension (walk-in robe and ensuite) add another compelling layer to a home that has taken more than a century of character, made room for modern life and left the best imperfections exactly where they belong.
