Over a century of life has infused this classic Guildford cottage with quiet dignity and a delightful sense of belonging. Surrounded by homes of a similar vintage, the white weatherboard façade and picket fence are dappled with the shade of established street trees. Inside, original jarrah floors, high ceilings and picture rails hint at the home's history while restrained expansion and an updated kitchen ensure the home meets the needs of modern living without hiding any original charm.
A formal lounge room and the main bedroom are arranged to either side of a wide entry hall. Rich, jewel-toned floorboards and high ceilings fashion an airy open lounge with room for sofas and a dining table. A reverse cycle air conditioner and gas bayonet provide year-round comfort.
Adjoining the lounge is an updated kitchen with stone benchtops, an integrated breakfast bar and dishwasher, oven and four-burner hob. This bright sunny space connects to an open plan meals/family room. A sliding door opens to expand the living space and create seamless indoor-outdoor living. This covered entertaining zone enjoys views of a picture-book backyard with lawns edged with roses and blossom trees.
The main bedroom sits at the front of the home and offers a spacious, restful retreat with views to the roses in the front garden. Two good sized junior rooms provide ample space for single beds and a desk and are linked by a connecting door.
The family bathroom and a separate W.C. are arranged off the family room, the large laundry (possibly the original washhouse) includes a second shower.
There is much to love here, and the home is ready and waiting for the next chapter in its long history. How you chose to write that chapter is up to you; whether it's a top-to-toe renovation or a less drastic renewal, this cottage has the heart and heritage to become the home of your dreams.
