Slip through the front gate of this Third Avenue gem and be immersed in a world of lush greenery, koalas and kookaburras. The pretty 1960’s solid brick cottage with feature stone chimney and timber floor boards will undoubtedly steal your heart.   A generous living and dining zone exudes charm and appeal with big timber windows, intricate cornices and glossy timber floors. Soak up the garden and treetop views through vast banks of windows. A combustion heater in this zone with lovely stone fireplace plus fully ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning throughout the home will give year-round comfort no matter the weather.   If a quality gourmet kitchen is on your wish list, look no further. This kitchen is a cut above, with plentiful stone-topped bench space and upscale Smeg appliances. Beware, you may be overcome by a sense of deep contentment as you bake goodies made from your own chooks’ eggs in your over-sized Smeg oven, whilst gazing out at your pretty back yard and those lovely leafy views.   Generous ceiling heights and handsome timber windows add timeless character and ample light to this home. Appealing bedrooms (with good storage) overlook the very private garden with Wisteria covered pergola. The laundry and bathroom are also beautifully finished. No frustrating renovation jobs are required. Painting, re-wiring and plumbing have been completed recently - just move in and enjoy the tranquillity this enchanting home offers.   Irresistible French doors lead from the living areas to the feature deck which offers stunning views of the large yard swathed with hydrangeas, tree ferns and beyond over the valley. This undercover area has café blinds and is awash with sunlight in the afternoon. From here you can commune with the chooks as they peck around the generous lawn, neat veggie beds and pretty garden borders. Backyard extra features include a large shed plus secure poultry housing.     This is a rare offering – an utterly charming Adelaide Hills cottage style house and garden with alluring modern luxuries.   Superior features we love: · Gourmet kitchen · Buckets of cottage charm with original features · Beautiful garden · Ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning · Generous shed/garage · Excellent chook house and yard. · Sizable block -1013sqm of usable, gently sloping land.
