Locally renowned, this beautiful art deco cottage, built in 1920, evokes a sense of the past, having been thoughtfully preserved with many of the original features intact, including: leadlight doors and windows, elegant ceiling roses, original oak floors as well as architraves, skirting boards and picture rails highlighted throughout. Positioned on the high side of Bedford Road to make the most of the distant views and secluded behind a fence to ensure optimal privacy, as soon as you enter the gate, you're greeted by an enchanting garden setting rich in almost as much history as the home itself. The lounge can only be described as sumptuous, showcasing a built-in wood heater and lofty ceilings that heighten the feeling of volume and space. A wide and welcoming entry into the adjoining dining kindles a sense of historical splendour while also offering the conveniences of today, with the inclusion of a split system heating and air-conditioning unit. The size of the bedrooms reflect the era, boasting impressive wall-to-wall spaciousness. The master comprises a full ensuite whereas the additional two bedrooms share the main bathroom, which includes a rain shower over bath, vanity topped with timber and practical slate flooring. The kitchen retains some of the original charm and features: gas cooking, ample storage with updated cabinetry and checked flooring adding a classic finish. The separate laundry adjoins a second toilet located off the back verandah, and in addition to occupying a corner block, the home offers modern enhancements, including: storage cupboards, single carport and extra secure parking. Ideally situated within close walking distance to Ringwood East Village, bus stop, Knaith Road Childcare Centre, Ringwood Secondary College, Wombolano Park, Eastwood Primary School, Aquinas College, as well as being just a brief drive from Tintern Grammar, Aquanation, bicycle tracks and EastLink freeway for fast access to surrounding suburbs. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a slice of real estate history.
