Classic Cottage Charmer
Under Offer
Those of you with a soft spot for cottage homes will adore this one on sight. Built in the 1950s and losing not an inch of its appeal since then, it's an absolutely gorgeous slice of history. Relish every season here; get cosy in front of the slow combustion wood fire during winter, emerge in springtime to the flowers blooming and the birds singing, enjoy lazy summer afternoons in the shade with a cool drink and good company, and take strolls through nearby bushland as Autumn returns. Whatever the weather, whatever the time of year, this is truly a lovely place to live.
There's plenty of room to move too, thanks to considerate extensions of years past. The open plan living, kitchen, and dining areas offer a lovely flow, with big windows adding to the sense of space and letting in the ambient Hills light. Jarrah floorboards throughout hark back to the original construction of the home while gentle renovations have brought the kitchen up to date without being too modern and spoiling the charm and warmth. Outside is just as delightful, with shady trees and established garden beds creating a serene and welcoming yard that you'll delight in wandering through.

Backing on to a bush reserve, you'll discover nature in abundance both on your own property and beyond. There's also sufficient parking here not just for cars but a caravan, too, thanks to the extra high carport, plus a powered workshop for those who prefer to wield a spanner than secateurs. An absolute charmer of a property from front door to backyard, you'll be won over at first glance.
For those who appreciate cottage character.
