DONOVAN'S COTTAGE - ICONIC MILTON Circa 1870

Lovingly restored, Donovan's Cottage is an absolute treasure trove of history that will capture your heart!
Step beyond the picture perfect picket fence and transcend to a time of whimsical charm. An era when homes were built to showcase master craftsmanship and embrace bespoke design elements. Beautiful Oregon timber architraves and skirting, 2.86m ceilings, pressed metal panelling, brass tapware and fitments, all combine to recreate this gorgeous cottage. A home that has stood the test of time and been lovingly restored to her former glory (with a few modern touches to ensure comfortable living!).
Featuring a wide entrance hall with Huon Pine flooring throughout, the front sitting room is cosy and welcoming with a slow combustion fire nestled in the original fireplace. The fireplace creates a lovely focal point in the combined sitting and dining room, offering an exquisite entertaining area.
There are two very generous bedrooms, both with well-appointed built-in robes, reverse-cycle air conditioning and ceiling fans. The main bathroom is an absolute picture - featuring a beautifully screened shower over claw-foot bath, a timber-slab vanity, heated brass towel rail and toilet complete with vintage cistern. Absolutely every element has been completed to the highest level of detail. There is also a fully lined loft with ladder access and a window for natural light that could be utilised as a third bedroom or additional living space.
A lovely sunroom provides the perfect connection between the living area of the home and the kitchen. Offering a rustic farmhouse feel, the kitchen features timber cabinetry with metal hinges, a modern 900mm gas cooktop and electric oven set into the fireplace and a double butler's sink. The adjoining laundry doubles as a service room with dishwasher, fridge space, double butler's sink and external access.
The back porch is perfect for entertaining and there is plenty of parking. The level backyard is fully fenced with a large timber garden shed. Featuring a pretty garden and paved area with an outdoor shower with hot and cold water - perfect after a day at nearby Mollymook Beach! The cottage is positioned in the heart of Milton with fabulous restaurants, bars and cafes all within a short stroll. Or perhaps you would prefer to relax with a glass of local wine on the front porch and take in the magnificent sunset over the Budawang Ranges and Pigeon House Mountain?
Twenty years ago Donovan's Cottage was under threat of demolition to make way for a carpark! Community outcry and a diligent local builder refused to allow this iconic dwelling to succumb to such a plan and the cottage was structurally restored in 2015. In 2019, the current owner meticulously renewed the period features to complete the transformation. The home is an absolute credit to both of these owners and a fine example of Milton's historic cottages.
