This stunning sandstone cottage represents the very best of prestigious Blackwood. Built in 1893, with a spacious modern rear extension, it has been exquisitely maintained to showcase all the grace and beauty of its era. A stunning bullnose return verandah welcomes you in. From a central hallway with lofty ceilings and ornate ceiling roses, the home opens to three generous bedrooms and a formal dining room. All three bedrooms have built-in-robes, with period fireplaces to two bedrooms and the dining room. Luxuriate in your own private spa in the en suite bathroom. At the rear, an open plan kitchen and living room is sure to become the welcoming heart of your new home. Curl up in front of the wood burning combustion heater on a winter evening, or open up French doors to the patio and let fresh air flow in. The kitchen is well equipped for family life, with a dishwasher, Puratap, electric cooktop and oven. Behind it lies a beautifully appointed full bathroom, separate toilet and European laundry. Outside, you'll be spoilt for choice. The generous block has been exquisitely landscaped with a lovely water feature set in formal English-style gardens. Entertain guests on the extensive deck with pitched pergola. A half-court tennis court is sure to delight. You're a short stroll from the heart of the Blackwood retail and cafe precinct, and close to Wittunga Botanic Gardens, Blackwood High School and Blackwood Recreation Centre. Head the other way to the popular Archibald Reserve and Blackwood Forest Recreation Park.
