AUCTION Sat 17 Nov at 11am (usp) Properties of this calibre do not come up often in this highly sought-after area. This four-bedroom symmetrical cottage has been beautifully renovated and maintained. It features dark-stained, Baltic-pine floorboards to the original section of the home, original fireplaces in the front four rooms as well as original ceiling features. Built in furniture has been tastefully added, along with stylish plantation shutters to the bedroom windows. Bedroom one features a wood combustion fireplace and connects separately to the large family bathroom. The kitchen has been elegantly renovated in keeping with the character of the home. The newer rear addition to the house includes a spacious, combined dining and lounge room with bamboo flooring and arched French doors that open onto the garden and outdoor entertaining room. The architecturally designed outdoor entertaining room, with its sandstone pavers, limestone and rendered walls and Moroccan hanging lights, is quite special. Cafe style blinds and timber shutters enable the area to be closed off and used all year round. Two wall-mounted, gas heaters have winter entertaining covered and a ceiling fan helps in summer. The polycarbonate roof allows an abundance of light as well as providing UV protection and thermal insulation. The rear of the house is also kept cool in summer by a wrap around, wisteria-covered steel pergola. The entertaining area looks down over the solar heated, glass-fenced, swimming pool that is surrounded by lush tropical gardens. Down a path, set at the rear of this wonderful property is an architecturally designed, Hebel-build, self-contained flat. This provides flexible uses as guest accommodation, student offspring housing and currently, as an art studio. It has hot/cold water, kitchenette, built in office furniture, split system reverse cycle air conditioning, wood combustion stove heater, bathroom and a mezzanine level bedroom. A cellar and workshop are part of the flat complex. Other features we love: - 30, 000L of rainwater storage plumbed to the home and garden irrigation. Current owners only use mains water for three months of the year. - 3KW solar panels - NBN to house This family home has provided many happy memories in the century since it was built. In that time, it has had only a handful of owners who have cherished, maintained and improved it. Come and view this wonderful property for yourself. OUWENS CASSERLY - MAKE IT HAPPEN
