Sympathetically and immaculately restored with incredible attention-to-detail, including fully-insulated ceilings and complete rewiring and plumbing, this cosy and light-filled home is reminiscent of a bygone era while meeting our expectations of contemporary living.

The six-inch wide authentic floorboards tell a story just by themselves, hosting short-term boarders and locals during the depression era. They are original Kauri pine and have mellowed and grained beautifully over the decades. Also unique are the original, timber lined walls and ceilings, fireplaces and mantels that contribute to the history of this stunning cottage.

Modern living has been accomplished gently and with panache. There are three well-proportioned bedrooms plus study/dressing room. Spectacular ten-foot ceilings grace the main house, with 9'6" ceilings in the extended part of the home.

Original sandstock bricks in the kitchen feature wall and on external chimneys are repointed and capped. A three-way bathroom/laundry has an original, recoated cast iron bath.

The new kitchen boasts Kleenmaid appliances and there is hydronic gas heating throughout the living areas.

A large attic space lined with chipboard flooring has storage shelves and access via a pull-down Kimberley Ultimate, heavy-duty, commercial ladder.

There is off-street parking with a remote control driveway gate plus a single garage with remote access. The boundary fences were rebuilt in the last 10 years from hardwood rail and palings with galvanised steel posts. The original outside 'dunny' has a plumbed, concrete washbasin.

Established gardens are adorned with a beautiful range of rose bushes, lemon trees and a stunning Snowball tree plus a garden shed/studio.

Set on a 696.7sqm block of level, north-facing land, this home of many facets, provides plenty of scope for further extension/renovation. This could include building a granny flat for potential added income (STCA), converting the garden shed into a studio and/or converting the attic into an upstairs living area.

Being a short, flat, five-minute walk to town and close to the hospital, medical facilities, shops, cafes and schools, with plenty of on-street parking available, this unique beauty really does have it all.

If you appreciate the qualities of the past combined with a masterful, modern touch, come take the reins and be the next custodian of this enchanting cottage and put your mark on history.
