From time to time, some of us harbour a dream of escaping to the country where we will spend our days collecting perfect eggs from speckled hens while heirloom vegetables thrive in beautifully styled raised beds, welcome to that home of your dreams. Located on a picturesque tree-lined street just moments from Paterson’s Village life and surrounded by a mix of beautiful heritage and contemporary homes, this turn-of-the-century weatherboard home is easy to fall in love with ! Honouring old world craftsmanship and modern sensibility, the house has a typical Federation floorplan, with central corridor and rooms branching off either side. Old neatly dovetails with new at this property thanks to a sympathetic modern addition. The success of this renovation lies in the fact that the century old cottage now celebrates light, space and liveability. The leadlight-lit front door makes an instant impact and sets the scene for the details that have gone into the whole home. What is clever about the design is the use of two wings to keep living and sleeping areas separate yet connected. Today, the home is a seamless sequence of space where the front wing is where you’ll find the more private, peaceful spaces and the busy living areas occupy the whole back section. Both pretty and practical, the timber kitchen bench runs the length of the island in the kitchen and is where family will congregate on weekdays – homework for the kids and cooking for the grown-ups. Encircled by beautiful established trees, the sunny outdoor dining area is a perfect sheltered spot for the family to gather. Located on the south side of the home, this is the setting for breakfast, morning teas and lunches; happily, you’ll also eat here on summer evenings so essentially, it’s a living area that is relaxing and inviting. At the bottom of the garden and wrapping around surrounding properties is a large open lawn area where kicking a footy or soccer ball, playing cricket or even totem tennis will become normal family life. Two separate sheds are going to bring nothing but joy to the tinkerer of the family. Recently wrapped in Ironbark cladding to soften them into the environment, don’t let them fool you into thinking they are redundant spaces. With three phase power, 35mpa concrete flooring, a mezzanine and facilities for a two- and four-point hoist, everything the handy person needs is at your fingertips in this space designed for four cars with workshop space and a further garage and workshop is positioned closer to the street. Ducted Dakin AC, NBN connected and a 4.5kw solar system with two inverters and 22 panels of solar, complete the liability features here. It is a home to love in 2021, but also 50 years from now – something that was both traditional and modern; a place where kids will create childhood memories in a warm and welcoming home.
