Renovated with a refined eye to retain beautiful period features, this property seamlessly blends both new and old to create a timeless modern home. The clever design and on trend colour scheme gives this home a sense of tranquillity and makes it a stylish retreat.
The first hint of what this home delivers is found upon entry at the hi-gloss front door fitted with a generous yet subtle leadlight panel. Inside, this cottage is refinished with jarrah floorboards, original windows, picture rails, ornate cornicing and lofty ceilings that pay respect to the heritage of home while providing many modern updates that you can expect throughout.
Immediately to your right is the formal lounge. Complete with indulgent plush carpet and the original fireplace mantle, this is a cosy spot to curl up and unwind. You can listen to the rain fall on the tin roof of the carport outside in winter or relax with a glass of wine as you catch-up on your favourite TV show in the comfort of the reverse cycle air conditioner.
Top quality craftsmanship is evident throughout the home especially in the new, gorgeous and stylish kitchen. Beautiful stone benchtops provide ample space for food prep for the serious foodie. There is plenty of well-placed storage, Smeg oven, Smeg integrated dishwasher, convection microwave, double sink with Italian tap ware and a built in vacuum for fuss-free clean up. Large jarrah and glass doors open out from the dining area which looks onto a brick-paved patio and cottage garden, presenting itself as the perfect place for your morning coffee.
Offering sought-after separation from the hustle and bustle of the living hub, the serene master bedroom is tucked to the far left-hand side of the home. Fitted with a reverse cycle air conditioner and wall of built-in cupboards and drawers, the cabinetry conceals a TV recess for those nights that you just want to curl up in bed and watch a movie.
Ideal for young children or visitors, both of the generous junior bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and ceiling fans. Together the three bedrooms share the modern family bathroom. Flooded with light from the Velux skylight, this stylish space is complete with a rain-head shower, bath and toilet. Updated with family functionality in mind, there is a separate powder room. In keeping with the period and charm of the home the external laundry is finished with an abundance of storage cabinetry.
At the rear of the home is a large activity space, where built-in storage provides ample room to hide the kids' toys, place your bags and hang your jackets. From here, a line of glass windows and doors deliver easy access to the elevated deck. An outdoor shower is tucked to the side and made private so you can wash after a delightful day in the garden.
With insulated ceiling panels, a wonderful northerly aspect and glorious view of the garden, it is no wonder that the current owners spend winter time on the deck. A well-equipped outdoor kitchen with oven, BBQ, wok burner, fantastic bar and an outdoor cinema space provides a series of alfresco living areas fabulous for entertaining.
The large studio is an incredible addition that would make a great home-office, artist's space, teenager's retreat or guest quarters. Attractively finished with engineered spotted gum flooring it is complete with a kitchen and a mezzanine level. French doors, rescued and restored from The Cottesloe Hotel, lead out to the studio's very own deck which overlooks the property's many fruit trees and raised vegetable garden beds.
This 2043sqm property is more than ready for you to pursue a self-sufficient life in the Hills, with a chook run up the back. The powered workshops are sizeable providing plenty of room for storage and hobbies. Not to forget about the kids, there is a great playground and cubby house tucked to the side.
Set in a sensational location with the Glen Forrest Primary School around the corner and public transport out the front, this property is your gateway to a better way of living.
