Cute as a button, this north-facing Character Cottage represents an amazing opportunity for the astute buyer to secure a house in the highly sought-after suburb of Highgate Hill.
Tastefully renovated within its original footprint, this neat and tidy home offers quality features including VJ walls & ceilings, five inch timber floors, high ceilings, breezeways and casement windows. Featuring 2 bedrooms PLUS a sleep-out, bathroom, separate WC, reverse-cycle aircon and ample storage below - this is a must see property!
Thanks to a 1.5KW solar system and north-south orientation you'll be securing your future in an energy efficient home. Perched high on an elevated block this property enjoys lovely breezes and is sheltered from the western sun.
The main living area is open plan, light, bright and airy overlooking timber and tin homes and the canopy of a magnificent leopard tree. Although you are only 3kms from the CBD you'll feel the tranquillity of nature thanks to the leafy green vista and generous backyard.
It's perfect to move in straight away, or perhaps you'll take advantage of the work the sellers have already done for you when they had award winning architects from Hogg and Lamb design the exquisite 3 bedroom/2 bathroom extension plans!
The kitchen has been remodelled with wooden benchtops, a gas cooktop and Miele appliances. The bathroom is neat and tidy with bath, vanity and separate WC. The whole house is tastefully decorated in neutral colours with timber floors giving the new owners a classic inner city feel.

Locally renowned entertainment and dining choices are literally at your doorstep. Take a leisurely walk to enjoy the Cultural Centre, Arts Complex and much more in and around the South Bank and West End precincts. The Inner City Lifestyle doesn't come any better than this!
