Positioned in a quiet and friendly street near the edge of National Park is this charming character cottage combining decorative traditional features such as leadlight windows and ornate cornicing with modern style and convenience. Additionally, there is still so much scope for turning this classic abode into your dream home with the opportunity to build a generous deck to capture idyllic mountain vistas. The family friendly floorplan comprises a long entrance hallway that leads to an open plan kitchen and meals area. The fully renovated kitchen features high-end stone benches, stainless steel gas cooking and a dishwasher and overlooks a spacious and light-filled meals area where you can house a large family dining table. There is a second living space off the hallway offering a warm and inviting lounge for rest and relaxation. There are three well-sized bedrooms with the choice of two extra large bedrooms as a master retreat (one with fireplace as a centrepiece and toilet). There is also a study at the front of the home for those who work from home or a great space for the kids to do their homework. Alternatively, you can convert this room to suit your lifestyle needs and use one of the larger bedrooms as a living space. The choice is yours. All bedrooms are serviced by a modern and spacious family bathroom with shower and bath. Stunning vaulted ceilings, elegant floating floors throughout, ducted heating, ceiling fan and wall-mounted air-conditioning for all-season comfort and an abundance of under-house storage complete this pretty picture. The generous 1014m2 allotment offers ample off-street parking for caravans or trailers, a large garden shed and a huge lush lawn for the family to enjoy as is or transform into the ultimate outdoor zone. There is also a deck on the lower level of the house overlooking the lawn perfect for summer barbeques and keeping an eye on the kids as they play.
