Mandorla – Historic hills cottage C1930

Description

Located just moments from Olinda village, Mandorla circa 1930 is a rare opportunity to secure a piece of hills history. The original Methodist church has been transformed into a fabulous home yet still retains its character architectural signature. The main room is lit by the original leadlight window and exposed timber trusses accentuate the pitched ceiling. Perfect for lounging and dining with mellow timber floors and ornate pendant lighting setting the mood.

Sleek contemporary additions include the amazing kitchen incorporating waterfall marble island breakfast bench, stainless steel appliances, stunning white cabinetry and designer lighting. A study area sits adjacent overlooking the fernery and external access to the rear balcony.

Tucked away upstairs the Sunday school is now the Master suite with sumptuous carpets, earthy recycled timber feature wall and floor to ceiling glass doors leading to a peaceful balcony. The walk through robe leads to the beautiful ensuite showcasing a stone basin and timber vanity, with double shower, all class.

The second bedroom is accessed via the original spiral staircase off the entrance and retains the charm of the old church. Timber beaded pendant adds a bit of style while the Juliette balcony and windows allow the treed aspect to feature. A possible 3rd bedroom in the home is currently utilised as a sitting room while the separately accessed self-contained studio with its own outdoor living space is great for extended family or the teenager of the family, or use as an art/ craft space / work from home. …so many choices!

Situated on a gently elevated quarter acre block (approx.) with rambling established gardens, an amazing old Magnolia tree in the rear yard is the focal point, with ample car accommodation including a double carport. Storage underneath the studio is always a useful addition.

Certainly an iconic property with all the hard work completed waiting for the final touches to make this glorious transformation your home in the hills and have all your guests in envy!
