Step Back in Time - Circa 1897 Character Cottage

Esperance - Located in a sought-after area, this charming character home steeped in heritage history, has been lovingly restored to reflect its original build in 1897 by George Doust, head stockman for the prominent Dempster family.
Behind the classic white picket fence lies a delightful two-bedroom cottage where attention to detail is evident throughout. Period features have been carefully preserved, including original-style electrical light switches, sections of the original imported timbers brought to Esperance by ship in the early settlement days, along with beautiful timber doors and window surrounds.
The home blends heritage charm with tasteful modern décor, thoughtfully chosen to replicate the elegance of yesteryear. A spacious formal lounge features reverse-cycle air conditioning and cosy wood heating, creating the perfect place to relax.
French doors open onto a vine-covered arbor walkway leading to the repurposed garage/workshop, now transformed into a delightful outdoor entertaining room affectionately known by the current owner as "The Champagne House."
The immaculate grounds complete the picture with a paved outdoor entertaining area, lush reticulated lawns and gardens, outdoor shower, quaint front verandah, and even a charming chook house.
Set on a generous 770sqm block zoned R40, the property is perfectly positioned less than 300m from restaurants and foreshore beaches, and approximately 1km from the CBD.
A rare opportunity to own a piece of local history while enjoying the comforts of modern living.
