A little bit magic
Some homes just hold a little bit of magic....
Loved by the same owner for 30 years, this 1920's weatherboard cottage has been the backdrop to decades of everyday moments. Slow mornings on the verandah, winter nights by the fire, long lunches and evening drinks under the wisteria.
Inside, this one's got all the charm and character we adore. High ceilings, hardwood floors, antique light fittings and the most beautiful leadlight windows.
The lounge is warm and generous, centred around a fireplace now fitted with a modern gas unit. Three bedrooms offer flexibility for young families, guests, or a work from home space. The kitchen is practical and well appointed with gas cooking, plenty of storage and even the original Metters stove!
The home is neat and tidy but offers plenty of scope to dream and add your own touches.
And then there's the backyard....
Secure, spacious and utterly enchanting. The alfresco area feels like something out of a storybook, with a pergola wrapped in wisteria that flowers beautifully and transforms the space into pure magic each season. Room for kids, pets and parties, you will LOVE spending your time out here.
