Some homes have a feeling about them from the moment you arrive... and this gorgeous Medina cottage is absolutely one of them.
Pretty flower-filled gardens frame the home like something from a storybook, while a sun-soaked front verandah invites you to sit awhile, enjoy your morning coffee and watch the world quietly pass by. It's sweet, welcoming and wonderfully reminiscent of everything we love about Medina.
Step inside and the character continues.
Beautiful hardwood floors, high ceilings and vintage details tell the story of the home's beginnings, while thoughtful additions over the years have created the space and modern conveniences we want today.
The original home flows through to a fabulous sunken extension, where a modern kitchen and generous open-plan dining area have transformed the way the home lives. It's light, spacious and welcoming, with plenty of room for family meals and friends gathered around the table.
The kitchen itself provides all the practicality of modern living, featuring a classic farmhouse sink, while still feeling completely at home amongst the cottage surrounds.
And then you step outside...
The gardens are something truly special. Bursting with flowers and established greenery, there are little pockets that feel almost like a fairy garden, creating a backyard that's full of colour, personality and charm.
Nestled amongst it all is a gorgeous courtyard—the perfect place for a long lunch beneath the sunshine, evening drinks with friends or a quiet cuppa surrounded by the garden.
For those needing more practical space, there's also a large shed, giving you plenty of room for tools, projects, hobbies and storage.
