This colonial cottage, dating from 1918, is located one street away from Newmarket's premier Bearsden Avenue, and has been respectfully renovated for modern living.
Internally the characteristic features of vjs, silky oak doors, original window glass, and high ceilings remain, but there is also a 2 pac kitchen with caesarstone benchtops, a 900mm oven, Villeroy & Boch bathroom fittings, a new Fujitsu split system air conditioner and a large floor to ceiling robe in the main bedroom. There is a clever separation of the dining room. The bathroom has been fully renovated and there is a separate powder room. The laundry and a 3rd toilet are downstairs.
Freshly repainted with polished timber floors, this home retains the grace of the past whilst providing the sophistication of today's living. There is potential for further extension (STCA) if required, as the 2 car garage is legal height.
Externally, this home has a front deck with suburban views, and a back deck with parkland and creek views. Invisigard security screens to the front door, and the doors on both front and back decks create breezeways through the whole house.
This is an instant home, ready for the next happy family. Local schools, medical centre, supermarket and cafes are nearby. Transport is easy, with the Newmarket train and bus network a few minutes' away. There is a cycle path at your back door (but privacy is preserved as there is no public access on this home's side of the creek).
