Every once in a while, you see a home so enchanting it seemingly has a personality of its own; 'The Cottage', located in the heart of the Kangaroo Valley, is one of those special properties. Once home to The Kangaroo Valley Times, a local newspaper from the late 1800s, this classic weatherboard home continues to radiate charm and character, thanks to its creative custodian Lisa Madigan, a Sydney-based artist, stylist, and creative director. From the moment you step inside, Lisa's exquisite taste and expert touch is present throughout, from the gorgeous and versatile sunroom that welcomes you upon arrival to the expansive living room with its original brick fireplace and timber accents. Each room tells a story of beauty and craftsmanship, including the elegant dining room adjacent to the gourmet kitchen, featuring luxurious details such as custom cabinetry and marble benchtops. Encouraging respite and rejuvenation, the cottage boasts two thoughtfully designed bedrooms. The master bedroom offers ample built-in wardrobes, while the second bedroom frames delightful greenery with bay windows. Equally refined is the oversized bathroom, featuring beautiful floor tiles, a designer basin, and a large freestanding bathtub-an oasis of relaxation. Beyond its historic walls lies a picturesque garden, enveloped by two magnificent crepe myrtles and an old federation palm tree. Whether enjoying an al fresco lunch on the paved patio or gathering around the outdoor fire pit under a starlit sky, the generous outdoor space offers serenity and a connection to nature. While 'The Cottage' provides a tranquil retreat, the property is also conveniently located just a short stroll to Kangaroo Valley village, the iconic Hampden Bridge, and the Kangaroo River. Then, for further exploration, the stunning Southern Highlands and South Coast destinations, such as Berry and Bowral, are just a short and scenic drive away.
