"Oak Tree Cottage" is a 1900's character, brick & weatherboard home that will have you captivated from the moment you step into the driveway.
As you enter the privately positioned corner allotment you literally walk into a realm of old world ambience and leadlight enchantment - beautifully combined with all of today's comforts and conveniences.
The symmetrical cottage features 3 bedrooms (all with ceiling fans), study/gym, bathroom, open plan kitchen, family living and dining area.
The polished, timber floored hallway leads to the spacious, master bedroom with adjacent dressing room/parents retreat with built-in robes and ample space for a cot, desk or sofa. Bedroom two is situated on the other side of the hallway and is also generously proportioned and features an ornate fireplace.
The heart of the home is the country style kitchen providing central island bench with solid timber benchtops, European appliances and rustic white cabinetry. The inclusion of a pyrolytic self-cleaning Miele electric oven, gas hotplates, Miele dishwasher and ample pantry space are a bonus to those that love to cook and entertain. Bedroom 3 has built-in robes and looks out over the established gardens.

Downstairs there is an extra bonus space situated under the living area which is perfect for a teenager, as it is privately accessed from either the carport or the side garden entrance. The current owners use this flexible space as a gym and music room. The adjacent laundry and second w/c bathroom area could easily be modified to accommodate additional shower facilities.
This is a classic cottage, with an open plan twist, allowing you to enjoy beautiful, treetop views across the rear garden from almost every room. Including a perfectly positioned balcony, which is situated off the family room overlooking the solar heated, salt-chlorinated, swimming pool and entertainers gazebo enticing you into endless summer fun. As a bonus both outdoor, paved, entertaining & pool areas are generously shaded by the gorgeous, oak tree that is the cottage's namesake.

There is also lots of level outdoor space for children and four legged friends to be safe and secure whilst enjoying Aldgate in autumn.
