Built C1890, this stunning symmetrical cottage is perfectly positioned on a 686sqm block and topped off with a pool and a perfect alfresco pavilion. Further extension was completed in 2010 for extra comfort, the evolution of this grand and gorgeous sandstone character cottage is complete. The expansive open-plan addition not only makes the most of its prized north-facing orientation with a light-filled view to the pool's solar heated waters, but adds another layer of flexibility to a home with four bedrooms with fourth bedroom currently used as study/home office plus dual living zones for both formal and relaxed occasions. Featuring soaring ceilings, fireplaces, polished timber floors and large rooms, the original dwelling gets better with age, arguably saving its best for a master bedroom with ensuite and a walk-in robe overlooking the back area. A reverse cycle split system servicing this room plus the ensuite features a double sink and spa bath. What you've got here - privacy, comfort and luxury! Let's talk about the kitchen – Super-functional open-plan kitchen with 6 burner gas cooktop, dishwasher and plenty of storage, overlooks the alfresco and the pool, breakfast bar at the island bench, walk-in pantry on top of the bundle of storage space.
