Stylishly combining beautiful character features from its circa 1950 beginnings with modern facilities for easy living, this charming cottage presents as an inviting family home. Only 1km from the centre of town, it's also just around the corner from primary and high schools, enhancing the lifestyle on offer. Modernisation in recent years has been carried out while retaining the cottage feel. Jarrah floorboards, timber sash windows and high ceilings with decorative cornices are still displayed in most rooms. The sizeable lounge at the front of the house, heated by a wood fire, is augmented by a new rear deck, a sheltered space for taking in the expansive outlook to the southern part of town and perfect for summer drinks and barbecues. Between the two are the open dining room and attractive kitchen, which sports timber bench-tops, white cabinetry, a dishwasher, gas cooking and a wall oven. Three bedrooms are at the front of the home, and an extension houses a spacious office as well as a central utility area or sunroom with the new laundry at one end. The modern bathroom has a bath with a shower over and a new vanity, and the separate toilet is next to it. Several outdoor features enhance the appeal of this desirable home, which occupies a block of 684sqm with backyard access for stowing the trailer. An undercroft workshop has ample space for carrying out DIY projects plus power and lighting, and there's heaps of under-house storage for family gear. Ideal for cleaning up after gardening is the old laundry with a shower. Along with an outdoor toilet, this is part of the original layout. There's good parking on a slipway along the front, while the yard, consisting mostly of lawn with a few native trees, is fenced to contain children and pets. The fibro and iron home is in great shape throughout and very well presented, ready for a new family to enjoy the convenience and comfort it promises.
