Some homes just have a feeling about them, and this beautiful 1896 weatherboard cottage is certainly one of them.
Rich in history, warmth and character, this lovingly maintained home brings together the charm of yesteryear with thoughtful modern comforts. From the original hand-sawn jarrah floorboards and soaring ceilings to the peaceful garden spaces, every corner has a story to tell.
Behind its traditional weatherboard façade and welcoming covered porch, you'll find a home that feels wonderfully relaxed and inviting.
The three bedrooms offer flexibility, with two generously practical bedrooms and a smaller third room that would make a lovely nursery, home office or creative space.
At the heart of the home, an updated kitchen features an induction cooktop, dishwasher and filtered drinking water system, flowing into an open-plan living and dining area that connects beautifully with the north-facing backyard.
The bathroom offers a little everyday luxury with a spa bath, while evaporative air conditioning keeps things comfortable through the warmer months.
Step outside and you'll discover what makes this home particularly special. Easy-care gardens create a peaceful setting to enjoy your morning coffee, unwind after a busy day or simply soak up the sunshine. There's even an outdoor shower for those who appreciate the little luxuries in life.
Tucked away in the backyard is a charming little garden hut, currently enjoyed as a meditation space. Whether you envision a quiet retreat, creative studio or peaceful work-from-home space, it's a wonderful bonus that adds to the home's unique personality.
