'Keepers Cottage'...Although it's definitely a keeper, the term cottage is a quaint but huge understatement for this magnificent home. To appreciate what is arguably Crows Nests' best kept and most exquisite home, is to take the time to privately inspect this truly beautiful property. From the moment you enter through the newly fenced and manicured front yard, make your way along concrete paths around the entire home and shed, only then will you begin to fully appreciate the attention to detail that these proud homeowners have painstakingly gone to, to create this magical property. To increase usability, the front verandah is designed for various weather conditions...perfect for cuppas or your favoured beverage.
Enter the home and simply be amazed! High ceilings, VJ wall panelling, timber fretwork and bay windows and window seats in bedrooms all culminate to create the perfect blend of yesteryear's beauty and contemporary, modern day living. The kitchen is complete with a pantry together with yet another walk-in pantry with extra storage and bench space for those appliances that don't get everyday use. A large 7 burner gas stove and electric oven will suit the cook of the household and just to add that touch of yesteryear again, a fully functional wood stove adorns the kitchen area...perfect for heating the home during cooler months or baking scones from Mum's favourite recipe. The adjoining dining and family rooms have large sliders giving easy access to the rear deck, complete with outdoor kitchen and dining space for entertaining friends or larger families.
A fan forced wood heater also helps with the cooler times, not to mention the 4 reverse cycle air conditioners (3 near new) throughout the house, with ceiling fans in almost every room. The formal lounge is on from the family room, offering privacy and quiet times for watching your favourite shows or maybe reading a book.
The shed, with drive through access to the backyard, is currently suited to 3 cars and if not required and with removal of the workbench, a 4th vehicle can be accomodated. For those wanting to spend some time in the shed tinkering, a great little potbelly wood heater will warm the entire area. Previously used as a home hair salon, there is a lined, plumbed and air conditioned room, absolutely perfect as your new home office. Town or tank water can easily be turned over to whatever you wish to use, with an excellent quality filter system in place for your rainwater, power bills have been well and truly non-existent since the new solar system has been installed...all in all, gas, solar, rainwater all add up to low cost living.
Attributes of this lovely, well maintained family home are too numerous to mention and as mentioned earlier, 'Keepers Cottage' needs to be inspected to be appreciated!
