Sited on the sheltered easterly side of town, this c1900 miners' cottage has been lovingly modernised. Entering the front door, you'll be struck by the stunning views over the Cascade River valley. Ferns grow naturally around the house and every window has a view of lush greenery.
The house comprises two bedrooms plus a small sunroom, living room, kitchen and dining, bathroom and separate laundry. The second bedroom is a sleep-out, accessed via the back verandah. It would be entirely possible to live on one side of the house and let out the second bedroom to visitors.
You'll be sharing the property with the resident wildlife - there's a local echidna and wallabies graze outside the sunroom at night. A family of blue wrens flit past the windows and butcher birds, rosellas, wattlebirds, honeyeaters and kookaburras call the backyard home.
Outside the sunroom door, there's a mossy-green outdoor space for you to enjoy after your day on the trails. On the hill above, a hedge of hazelnut trees and a stand of blackwoods provide privacy.
Set up for year-round living, there is an old Saxon woodheater in the living room with the addition of panel heaters to keep the living areas and the second bedroom cosy. The roof is also fully insulated.
Double-glazed uPVC windows have been installed at the front of the house, new premium carpet in the bedrooms, quality vinyl flooring (to be installed shortly) and character light fittings. For your peace of mind, the electrics have been rewired and updated with safety switches. The bathroom has been updated and is ready for the new owner to select tiles (tilers' contact info can be provided). The kitchen is functional; woodwork on the walls and ceiling enhance the rustic cottage feel.
Overall, the house is well-maintained and freshly-painted.
Street access is via Lower Cascade Road and, as a bonus, there's also direct walking and bike access to Cascade Dam Road which leads to the Black Stump trail. At the front of the property there's parking for at least three cars.
Although set away from the busy main street, it's an easy couple of minutes' roll down the hill to all that Derby has to offer: cafes, pubs, restaurants, shuttle services, bike shops, the Floating Sauna at Derby Lake, and of course the trailhead.
This is a place you'll love coming back to.
