Charming Hills cottage

Step onto the wide verandah – now the home's welcoming focal point – and feel the immediate connection to its roots and fresh contemporary identity. The newly laid driveway from Hilltop Close guides visitors to this threshold, where white trim and sophisticated grey concrete establish the refined palette that flows throughout the property.

Inside, original pink and green terrazzo flooring creates a continuous plane across the central living spaces – a tactile reminder of the home's provenance and an elegant platform for daily life. Lofty ceilings now glow with fresh white paint, enhancing the sense of space and light, while grey walls provide a modern counterpoint without compromising the home's inherent character.

The kitchen is a compelling example of the property's thoughtful evolution. Here, original 1950s cabinetry has been preserved and sensitively updated—a skilful balance of respect for iconic style and contemporary functionality. This space embodies the home's ethos: honouring the past while embracing the present, with reverse-cycle air conditioning ensuring year-round comfort.

In the principal bedroom, high ceilings, original windows and warm jarrah floors create a sanctuary bathed in natural light. The second bedroom (situated off the rear verandah) mirrors this harmonious blend of heritage elements and contemporary sensibility, offering another generous private retreat.

Original terrazzo flooring continues in the generously-proportioned bathroom fitted with a tub, shower and vanity. A separate WC adjoins the modern laundry, where timber benchtops and practical storage solutions create a functional yet beautiful utility space.

At one end of the inviting front porch sits a versatile space – currently arranged as a playroom but equally suited to use as a dedicated home office with separate entry, or as a comfortable third guest room. This flexibility speaks to the home's adaptability to changing needs and lifestyles.

The rear verandah offers a contemplative vantage point overlooking a generous central lawn dominated by a majestic gum tree – the perfect position for a hammock or swing. Fruit trees and an original well (awaiting restoration) connect the property to its history. At the same time, the level open space presents endless possibilities for productive gardens or a small flock of chickens. The spacious, shaded verandah provides ample room for relaxation and alfresco dining.

Fresh white render now adorns the exterior walls, while new paint refreshes concrete on both the front porch and rear verandah. Pressure-washed roof tiles complete the home's transformation – a comprehensive renewal that respects the structure's origins while ensuring its relevance for decades to come.

This home is a freshly polished jewel where Italian-influenced design meets Australian landscape –set adjacent the Great Eastern Highway -a unique Hills property that offers both a connection to heritage and a thoroughly contemporary living experience.
