A little piece of Wooroloo history, thoughtfully brought into the present. There are some homes that simply make you feel something. Set amongst the rolling hills, farms and wonderful community spirit of picturesque Wooroloo, this charming 1935 cottage is one of them. Full of character, warmth and possibility, it is a home that has been lovingly cared for and thoughtfully updated, while retaining the delicate charm of its era.
Set on a generous 2,045sqm block, there is room here to dream. Whether your vision is a future extension to the main house, an abundant garden, workshop space, modular living or a more flexible multigenerational arrangement, the land provides an exciting canvas for those with the appetite and budget to take the next step. And yes - there is room for the cars, the caravan and all the other things that come with country living.
Over the past four years, the owners have undertaken a significant program of work with great care and forethought. Asbestos has been removed from the interior of the main house and the secondary building's laundry and bathroom and guttering and ceiling repairs have been completed. The lean-to connecting the kitchen and bathroom has been insulated, lined and refreshed, creating a more comfortable and functional connection between the living spaces.
Inside, colour and warmth have been thoughtfully introduced. Hardwood floors have been revealed, and elements of the home's original character celebrated rather than concealed. The result is a cottage that feels connected to its past, but comfortable in the present.
The front porch and living room, two of the home's most lived-in spaces, have been enhanced with newly installed café blinds. They provide protection throughout the seasons while allowing the home to open beautifully to its surroundings, creating an easy sense of flow between inside and out.
Considerable care has also been taken with the home's beautiful, delicate ceilings and cornices. Importantly, much of the renovation investment has gone into the things you don't necessarily see - the internal material safety and maintenance work that provides peace of mind for the years ahead.
Outside, the secondary building, complete with laundry, shower and toilet, remains a work in progress. For the savvy buyer, this presents an opportunity to bring your own expertise, ideas and style to a project that has already been given so much love and attention.
Fresh rainwater tanks and thoughtful planting across the different levels of the property have further enhanced its charm, while the powered shed/workshop provides an ideal space for making, creating, restoring or simply indulging a love of projects.
Just 130 metres from the local primary school, the property sits close to the heart of Wooroloo's daily life while retaining the privacy and tranquillity that makes this part of the hills so appealing. With sweeping views in all directions and the landscape unfolding around you, it is a place where you can slow down, breathe a little deeper and enjoy the space you've found.
This is not a home that needs to shout for attention. It is a home to be experienced - to walk through slowly, imagine the possibilities, appreciate the work already completed and perhaps begin to picture what you might do next. This property is best experienced in person, so please join us at one of the scheduled hour-long home opens and discover this special little piece of Wooroloo for yourself.
