There's something instantly inviting about Cherry Tree Cottage, from the charming picket fence right through to the welcoming front porch with its original fretwork detail. It's the kind of home that feels warm and established from the moment you arrive - and it's the small details you'll find yourself falling in love with… the cherry trees when they blossom, roses in full bloom, and mature fruit trees including a fig tree currently laden with fruit.
Inside, the character continues with all the features you'd hope for in a cottage of this era - high ceilings, ceiling roses, decorative fireplaces, sash windows, along with original door furniture and beautifully aged, mix-and-match timber floorboards that add to the home's story. The layout is flexible depending on your needs, offering either two bedrooms with a generous living and dining zone, or the option of three bedrooms if you prefer a different setup.
The kitchen and bathroom have been thoughtfully updated, bringing a light and modern contrast to the home's traditional feel. The bathroom includes a free-standing bath as well as a separate shower, creating a practical and appealing space for everyday use.
Outdoor living is well catered for with two separate decks - one flowing directly from the kitchen, ideal for casual meals, and the other accessed via French doors from the lounge, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The yard is fully fenced with a grassed area, garden shed, and a shared off-street parking for one to two cars, which is a real advantage this close to the CBD.
Positioned within easy walking distance to the CBD, the new University campus and the Seaport precinct, this is a home that brings together lifestyle, character and convenience in a sought-after location.
