Birdwood SA 5234

LAND:
1086 m2. Large corner allotment (which may be subdividable STCC) located in the peaceful township of Birdwood, only 30 minutes from Tea Tree Gully. A short stroll to the local shopping centre or to the Birdwood Primary or High Schools. Lovely
garden setting with many advanced trees gives a very relaxed feel. The corner position allows easy access to the large rear yard, which has plenty of room for kids to play and to plant a huge vegetable garden.

RESIDENCE:
The current residents are only the second proud owners of this c1940s cottage. They have been meticulous in the manner in which they have restored the original cottage back to its former glory, and taken particular care to maintain its character both inside and out. The heritage style timber cladding of the original cottage had also been carried over to the large extension using Jarrah timber. The extension has been carefully designed and constructed to blend and enhance the old world charm. The
original verandah lines have also been duplicated for the
extension, which continue the character. The home has been completely re-wired and the up to date electrical fuse box is a far cry from the bakelite fuses of yesteryear. The home has also been completely re-roofed with Coloorbond iron and is fully
insulated. Entering the home, the warmth of polished timber floors is obvious. High 9ft ceilings in the original section of the cottage give a spacious feel. It always seems logical that the kitchen is the first port of call to a home and it is easy to see why this would be the centre of conversation while watching the cook prepare a meal. Quality timber cupboards create a warm feel and a built-in Italian Technika 900mm wide quality gas/electric
burner/oven fits beautifully in the original fireplace
surrounded by the original mantel piece. The kitchen opens via a wider than double opening into the formal dining area, again
having a warm feel ready for dinner parties. There is also a
Fujitsu Inverter reverse cycle, wall, split air conditioner which is very effective in providing heating/cooling for the main cottage. Located adjacent to the dining room is the main bathroom with shower, vanity and a separate toilet with dual access from the bathroom or the hallway. The bathroom also is dual purpose
containing laundry facilities. The main bedroom located in the original cottage also has access to an area which can be used as either a walk in robe or as an office area. The second bedroom has a beautiful, authentic, original fireplace which can be used on chilly, nights.
From the dining room, there are three steps which lead to the extension, a very impressive large entertaining room that could be used as a studio or a parents retreat.
