Picture-perfect and thoughtfully renewed, this circa 1890 freestanding Victorian cottage balances enduring character with contemporary comfort in a quiet yet convenient bayside pocket.
Beyond its picket fence and weatherboard façade, a traditional verandah with ornate cast-iron lacework introduces the home's period origins, while the landscaped front garden creates an inviting, sunlit place to pause.
Inside, three generously proportioned bedrooms unfold from the central hallway, while the main bathroom and ensuite pair neutral tiling, brushed nickel tapware and streamlined cabinetry to create cohesive, contemporary spaces.
At the heart of the home, a refined kitchen with Caesarstone surfaces, tonal cabinetry and a generous island bench flows into the light-filled living and dining domain. Soaring cathedral ceilings and warm hardwood floors heighten the sense of space, creating an inviting hub for cooking, gathering and everyday life.
Double-glazed sliding glass doors draw sunshine and garden greenery inward before opening to a sunny, private courtyard framed by exposed brick. Here, established garden beds, lush hedging and fragrant jasmine bring privacy to this secluded outdoor retreat, while drip irrigation and composite decking ensure a low-maintenance setting for long lunches and relaxed entertaining.
With nothing left to do but simply move in, everyday ease is enhanced by hydronic heating, split-system reverse-cycle air conditioning, European laundry, attic access and ample storage throughout.
Positioned on a quiet, one-way street with unrestricted all-day parking, where children ride their bikes and neighbours know each other by name, Mason Avenue enjoys a prized bayside setting that blends coastal charm with urban convenience. Just moments from sandy beaches, expansive parks, vibrant cafés and city transport, the address is also zoned for Elwood Primary School and Elwood College.
