Big on functionality, this tastefully modernised cottage has kept its original charm with floorboards throughout, polished in a modern semi gloss sheen. This home has its original ornate cornices, plus original refurbished cast iron bathtub, shiny freshly painted tiled roof. Fresh air flows, with casement windows to catch the cross breezes and up on stumps for great Queenslander style for added airflow. On entry you are greeted with a soft wash of sunlight, with the curtains pulled back.
Central hallway makes for easy access from living room, to bathroom and bedrooms, in the typical worker's cottage simple, functional, square design.
Combined open plan lounge/dining area features beach blue colour palette and gives a cosy romantic atmosphere, although most dining in this home will likely be enjoyed 'outdoors' on the spacious back deck.
Modern galley style kitchen has French doors which allows for easy access and making it super functional for dining on the deck. Kitchen has loads of pantry space and built-in wine rack.
Semi soft close deep kitchen drawers, maximise storage space in this design. All appliances are new or only a couple of years old: dishwasher, electric cooktop and separate electric wall oven.
(Optional idea: you could extend the kitchen, an outdoor kitchen area on the deck has been allowed for in the future design.)
