Cottages with as much character and comfort as this one don't come along very often, and the Unconditional Contract that was in place cannot settle due to personal circumstances - as such, we now offer a SECOND CHANCE to a lucky buyer.Lovingly renovated and extended, there are creative uses of natural timber and other recycled materials everywhere one turns and the result is a property with real charm. Located a few streets back from the Margaret River Main Street, the traditional quarter acre block may be subdivided to create an additional block at the rear. But when you come and see the property you will fall in love with the massive backyard and marvel at the highly productive garden that also houses a caravan, sheds and chook run! This precious parcel will reward the fortunate buyer with the kind of family property that most of us only dream of. The charming home is a short stroll from shops and schools whilst feeling private and tucked away from the world. If you can't move here just yet, and are looking for the ideal holiday home, the property also sits within the Shire's Permissible Zone for Holiday Houses, so approval may be sought. Down the track, you may decide to subdivide to create two assets, making the property even more valuable.It is a real privilege to sell a property that has been so lovingly restored and enhanced, and includes such a well-considered and established yard, and is all thanks to the efforts of the owner who is a talented craftsman. Please get in touch at your earliest to have a chance at securing this wonderful property.PROPERTY OVERVIEW:- Sheltered, front porch entry- Polished jarrah floorboards to lounge, kitchen and 2 bedrooms- Original front lounge with ceiling rose and enameled woodfire- Front bedroom is spacious and has windows to the porch- Central kitchen is well appointed, has north-facing windows, and connects with the rear living room and views beyond to the backyard- 4th bedroom off kitchen is currently used as an office - with exterior access it offers multiple uses such as workspace with separate client access- New living room has slate floor; north-facing and east-facing windows; a woodfire; and French doors off the breezeway open to the backyard outdoor entertaining area- Walk-through laundry is behind a sliding door off the living room and there's a fabulous bathroom with toilet; shower over bathtub; and openable skylight- A breezeway leads to the 3rd bedroom, which is also a good size, and to the master bedroom- Master bedroom has carpet, north-facing windows, and French doors to the garden.
