Positioned on a generous elevated allotment on desired View Crescent, this beautifully reimagined property offers a rare combination of charm, space, and flexibility. Set across an approximately 2,327 m house block, with the added advantage of a separately titled adjoining allotment of approximately 1,315m, the opportunity here is as compelling as the home itself.
As you arrive, the home's welcoming presence is immediately felt, framed by thoughtfully landscaped gardens and a picturesque front verandah. The extended deck provides the perfect vantage point to enjoy a morning coffee or take in tranquil garden surrounds and sweeping forest views-an inviting introduction to what lies within.
Stepping inside, the original two-bedroom cottage has been thoughtfully renovated to honour its character while embracing modern comfort. The open plan kitchen, living, and dining zone forms the heart of the home, enhanced by a wood-burning fire and updated windows that invite in natural light. The kitchen is both refined and functional, appointed with stone benchtops, a glass splashback, and a full suite of Miele appliances including dishwasher, electric cooktop, microwave, and integrated fridge/freezer.
The accommodation is equally impressive. The master bedroom enjoys a peaceful outlook across the front garden, complete with split system heating and cooling and an adjoining study area featuring bespoke joinery-ideal for working from home. The second bedroom offers flexibility with a large skylight, bi-folding doors, and access to attic storage.
Centrally positioned, the expansive Jack and Jill bathroom services both bedrooms with ease, showcasing dual vanities, floor-to-ceiling tiling, a generous freestanding bath, walk-in shower, and toilet-delivering a luxurious spa like experience.
Flowing seamlessly from the original home, a substantial rear extension introduces a striking living and family zone. Defined by its vaulted ceiling, three skylights, custom cabinetry, and double glazing, this light-filled space is anchored by a dramatic wall of glass with sliding doors opening onto the alfresco entertaining area-perfect for year-round entertaining.
Outdoors, newly completed extension features a spacious aggregate entertaining area which is complemented by retaining wall garden beds, while the home's exterior showcases a stylish combination of Monument Colourbond and spotted gum cladding.
Practicality has not been overlooked. The home features a large, well-appointed laundry with excellent storage and a separate powder room servicing the entertaining areas, alongside a host of upgrades including restumping, new windows to the original cottage, insulation throughout, underground power, mains water, a wastewater treatment plant, and security doors to both front and rear entrances.
Two corrugated iron garden sheds (3.12m x 2.34m) are perfect for all your tools, while easy under home access provides additional storage with the added benefit of power.
The grounds are a true highlight-beautifully landscaped with a curated selection of Blackwoods and Eucalypts, cool-climate plantings, and stone-edged garden beds featuring Maples, weeping cherry, and Birch trees, creating a serene and ever-changing natural backdrop.
