A picture-perfect cottage garden offers a charming welcome and the wide veranda is one of many outdoor spaces this home enjoys. The front door opens into the early 1900s home with high ceilings and timber flooring. Two bedrooms are located at the front of the house – off each side of the entry hall and both with French doors to the veranda and open fireplaces with cast-iron inserts. The main bedroom features a walk-in robe and luxurious ensuite with clawfoot, freestanding bathtub. A third bedroom and family bathroom is located off a separate hallway, towards the centre of the house, and at the rear is a light-filled, open plan kitchen, living and dining space. The timeless kitchen offers ample storage, and French doors open out to a spacious deck that overlooks the garden and the spires of the Sacred Heart Cathedral.
Timber stairs from the lounge lead down to an additional living room. An extra bathroom, fourth bedroom (or home office) and large laundry make this entire level ideal for older kids or guests. The sizeable rear garden ticks every box featuring an inground swimming pool, cubby house, chook pen, veggie garden, large shed with additional storage or workshop space and tandem carport. The garden itself is beautifully landscaped and features mature plants and trees. Multiple paved courtyards provide private pockets to sit and relax, and all of this is within easy reach of everything the city has to offer.
