***Access Via Service Road***
Behind an alluring white picket fence, this freshly painted weatherboard cottage delivers the kind of street appeal that makes coming home feel good before youve even reached the front door. Pretty as a picture yet deceptively spacious, it blends heritage personality with a thoughtfully extended modern footprint, offering warmth, character and a private backyard with room for everyday life to breathe. The easy-access service road position adds another practical layer to a home that feels instantly welcoming.
The original front section carries a fascinating connection to Croydons dairy-era past, once believed to have operated as a milk shopfront associated with a local dairy farm. Gleaming Baltic pine floors, lofty ceilings, sash windows and original light switches preserve its story, while the split-level rear extension adds contemporary comfort without sanding away the soul.
At the centre, the open-plan living and meals zone gathers around a cosy wood heater and built-in entertainment wall, with a granite-topped kitchen keeping cooking, conversation and family life naturally connected. Glass doors lead to a sunny deck and layered gardens shaped by stonework, a firepit, alfresco pockets, veggie beds and room for play or quiet discovery. A double garage, workshop storage and generous off-street parking complete a first-home or downsizer package with far more to it than first meets the eye.
