This sweet and enchanting 1950s cottage keeps all its vintage vibes but also captures the essence of comfort and style with some fantastic upgrades. From the meticulously maintained interiors to the beautifully landscaped backyard, this property is truly a delightful package. Step inside and find a range of features and reno additions that make it functional and super comfy, from the bonus sleepout/study to the modernised bathroom (with even a heat lamp for chilly Winter mornings). As you'd expect, the heart of the home is the eat-in kitchen, with a touch of timber and a whole lot of storage space and while nothing is overdone, the original decorative cornices and hardwood flooring throughout provide a delightful base for any future makeovers you get inspired to undertake.
The outdoor spaces of this property are equally practical plus boast a touch of charm thanks to the front veranda - the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee with the magpies. If you like to host a friend or two, the covered alfresco out back is a lovely, sheltered space in a fully fenced backyard. Side-gate access is a must for those wanting convenient access to the rear of the property for DIY projects, and a powered garage/workshop with automatic door is awaiting your chariot of choice. With a generous block size, you have the potential here to turn the garden into anything your heart desires, or leave it as the neatly landscaped, flat lawn area and simply set the auto retic to go. Come Spring, you'll adore seeing the bees making the most of your citrus, plum, apple, and pomegranate tree blossoms - harvesting these just became the best excuse to go visit your neighbours with a basket in hand and perhaps a margarita or two on the menu.
