This delightful cottage home sits proudly high on the hill in the Bayswater Village precinct.
The unique early century façade and interior period features transport you back to a time when these cottage style homes were built and common to this location. They are now a sought-after abode for a variety of home buyers wanting to stamp their own individual personality on the home through further internal and external enhancements.
The home’s entry impresses with red recycled brick paving used for on-site parking which rests beside the terraced garden level with native shrubs and garden beds circling the decorative feature paving and façade.
The front security screen door and original 4 panel Oregon colonial entry door open up to expose enticing period features such as high ceilings, wooden floorboards, fireplaces, pressed metal ceilings and walls and colonial windows and doors, typical of the early 1900’s.
The spacious primary bedroom sits at the front of the home and enjoys garden views and features an ornate fireplace mantle-piece and sits adjacent to the generous sized secondary bedroom which sits opposite the hallway.
Further along, the hallway opens out to a larger space for central access to the separate dining room with pressed metal ceiling and walls and with an old Meters stove as a decorative feature. Adjacent is a tidy galley kitchen with gas cooktop and Bosch dishwasher and opposite is a small separate study.
At the rear, the home opens out to split level living with stairs up to another large living area or activity room or perhaps a third bedroom. Down below, the stairs lead to a neat bathroom with period pedestal basin and clawfoot bath. Another set of stairs lead down to gorgeous family room with colonial doors and windows looking out over the back patio and rear gardens with views over the surrounding streetscape.
A small pathway from the home into the back yard leads you to a separate laundry/ second bathroom combination, ideal for showering after enjoying time splashing around in the below ground pool.
Completing the home amongst the rear gardens is a railway carriage that is set up as a separate sleeping-quarters and would be ideal for a family member who prefers a little more isolation or as a possible “room for rent” or guestroom accommodation.
Beyond this is a two-car secure garage/workshop with 3 phase power and with rear lane access.
The location is second to none being a short walk tom the Bayswater village with cafes, shops, parks, playgrounds and the community library, not forgetting the easy access to the Bayswater train station being only a 4 minute walk away, as well as the close proximity to local buses and the airport only minutes away.
For those looking for something different with the desire to add their own personal touches to make this home their own, this substantial classic residence offers a unique living lifestyle amongst the charm of a bygone era.
