Circa 1895-1910, "Glenellen" is a charming heritage cottage that has been beautifully restored and thoughtfully renovated to blend its rich historical character with contemporary convenience. Quietly tucked away just a short stroll from the vibrant village of Blackheath, the home is framed by picturesque scenery and enjoys a peaceful location that enhances its timeless appeal.
The home showcases 3-metre ceilings with ornate timber or plaster cornices adorned with flannel flower motifs, original oiled cypress pine floorboards, and elegant leadlight detailing throughout. From bespoke cabinetry crafted by a local cabinetmaker to period-appropriate finishes and an inviting Jetmaster gas fireplace, every detail has been carefully curated. The open kitchen is a true centrepiece, featuring hand-painted cabinetry, Caesarstone surfaces, a reclaimed timber bench-top, and an original restored fireplace housing a 900mm gas cooker. The bathroom and laundry continue this thoughtful design, combining tongue and groove timber ceilings with underfloor heating and handcrafted cabinetry.
Set on a beautifully landscaped block by local designer James Masters, the gardens are enhanced by a backyard watering system and offer DA approval for a future 6m x 4m deck, adding even more potential to this already exceptional home.
