Beautifully Renovated Character Home

This beautifully refurbished 1959 cottage delivers a picture perfect blend of old-world charm and up-to-date functionality. Thanks to a renovation in 2020, this magazine-worthy cottage comes with a brand spanking new roof complete with insulation and sisalation, all new wiring throughout, and two sparklingly fresh bathrooms plus a stunner of a kitchen. But the 1950s charm has not faded a smidge with those high ceilings with ornate cornices and art deco ceiling roses, beautiful leadlight windows and doors, antique pendant lighting mixing with the modern downlights, and little touches such as the original exposed brick feature in the gorgeous kitchen.

The bedrooms here are proportioned for a touch of '50s grandeur too - even the secondary bedrooms have some space to them. The main bedroom has a ripper walk in robe and luxe ensuite, plus those gorgeous windows. When you're ready to create some quality family time, the open-plan heart of the home is the spot to do it. There's a fully renovated kitchen here, where warm timber benchtops and sleek white cupboards and drawers create a timeless elegance. A clever nod to the home's past sees the original stove recess cleverly transformed into a charming coffee station, a concept repeated as you move to the semi-open sitting room where a chic half-enclosed wall stands as testament to this reno's ability to brilliantly blend a modern upgrade with the home's original character.

You'd be forgiven for assuming everything about this property is finished, with no more room for new additions, especially from the inviting front yard. The traditional Australian cottage yard with its red path to the front door entirely complements the lovely front porch and native (Waterwise!) gardens. While charmingly landscaped with established veggie patches, a sweet frog pond, large chook coop, and fire pit area for a regular cosy evening under the stars, there's also room to create new features here. The side-by-side workshops have been re-roofed and insulated and have hot and cold running water and pre-existing wiring. With a little inspiration this could be transformed into a self-contained granny flat, dedicated studio workshop, or even an art studio for open studio events. Thanks to the rear access through the Right Of Way, any future developments become a whole lot more simple to implement! The large solar hot water system keeps your energy bills a little more friendly while the covered verandah and alfresco areas mean you always have a pretty spot to soak up some sunshine of your own. And just outside your boundaries lies a lovely part of Bellevue; just a hop, skip, and jump to Midland, close to the local Primary school, hospital, and shopping, public transport, and restaurants, in fact, the bus stop is almost on your doorstep!

Modern upgrades improve on '50s charm.
