Welcome to NORWOOD. The main story has been told - you get to write the next chapter.
A house that champions the authenticity of the past, this delightful and surprisingly spacious cottage remains vastly untouched. This property stands alone, a proud display of humble historic architecture.
Original character features are intact and aplenty, they include :- soaring high pressed metal ceilings with egg & dart cornices, solid old-growth beaded wall boards, double-hung and casement timber windows and timber flooring throughout, four-panel solid timber doors with decorative fretwork breeze-lights and coloured glass, chain pendant lights and cast iron rimlocks. Highly sought, yet rarely offered, this is a very rare opportunity to cherish, love, restore and potentially extend a truly beautiful historic home.
The shuttered side verandah offers private winter sunlit ambiance, opening to a formal sitting room with cast-iron insert fireplace and pressed metal ceilings. The family room is bright and open, offering uninterrupted suburban views across the valley whilst the adjoining kitchen displays exposed brickwork and an expansive timber island. Accommodation includes three double bedrooms and one spacious bush-meets-city bathroom, sensitively updated with clawfoot cast-iron bath, timber louvre-wall and wall-hung banquet-seat vanity.
Positioned an elevated flood-free 427sqm allotment, the long term appeal of this residence is guaranteed by its location. Future custodians will enjoy absolute lifestyle convenience, with Merthyr Village, New Farm Cinema and leafy New Farm Park within walking distance. Shopping and entertainment precincts including Brisbane Powerhouse, James Street and Howard Smith Wharves are within minutes, while leading public and private schools are also within proximity.
