Description

**PLEASE EMAIL AGENTS FOR ALL ENQUIRIES **
Whimsical, charming, and full of endearing quirks, this enchanting character home has all the hallmarks of a fairytale cottage which starts with its sunshine yellow front door. Perched atop a hill delivering elevated vistas from many vantage points you are cosied in amongst a European inspired landscape of hand-made paths and rock walls forged beneath a cascade of perennials, exotic fruit trees, and roses admired from almost every pane of this 3-bedroom classic.

Big, beautiful windows looking out at the sky and leafy garden scape, earthy timber floors, picture rails, exposed beams and stone, French doors…every element of this timber and stone cottage delivers a compelling blend of character and inspirational style. Beautifully balanced rooms, create a restful sanctuary, whilst the considered and fluid floorplan creates harmonious living spaces thoughtfully curated for family life with rooms flowing seamlessly from one space to the next, and effortlessly from inside to out.

At the heart of it all - you'll adore the wonderfully welcoming kitchen whether you're an entertainer or a homebody. Assemble a platter with fresh delights from your garden and head outside into the sunshine for nibbles and chats with friendly neighbours on Sunday afternoons. And come winter, the hills essential wood fire warms the house leaving the tell-tale aroma lingering in the air. It's year-round bliss, and it could be yours.


Talking Points:
•Cathartic lounge with stunning picture windows and toasty wood fire adding allure before opening the French doors and spilling out to the garden.
•Updated kitchen bathed in morning sun with rustic timber benches, stainless-steel oven cooktop and dishwasher, lavish pantry and a breakfast bar to perch with your laptop or a steaming hot cuppa.
•The adjacent dining room is a perfect space for creating and gathering and will inspire family meals and entertaining around a large dining table with the original wood stove and stone mantel as an ornate centrepiece.
•A walk-through library off the dining room is an enchanting space to house your favourite chapters and guides you to a second living area or a potential fourth bedroom with access to the garden and a cellar – the perfect temperature for your vintage drops or shelving your preserves.
•Comfortable master bedroom with cute concealed ensuite (you won’t even know it’s there) and expansive robes to keep life clutter free.
•A master size bedroom's bay window insists on a nightcap eyeing the verdant garden surrounds with convenient access to the family bathroom and a third toilet.
•Delightful garden studio with power – an ideal sanctuary for a work from home space or a studio with toilet and laundry next door.
•Take your pick: vegetables, herbs, persimmon, pomegranate, nectarine, apricot, plum, lime, lemon, orange, cumquat, quince and olives provide a bountiful harvest.
•Enjoy sunsets under the shade of the vine-clad pergola.
•Blankets of flat lawn for the children to play cricket, kick the footy or set up the trampoline.
•Three compost bays near the raspberry patch with magnificent hand-crafted rock walls and a covered potting area.
•Single carport plus plenty of extra off-street parking.
•Seasonal comfort via ducted heating and partial double-glazed windows.
•Better still, it’s an easy walk to Main Street, chic cafes, railway station and bush paths, and for bird lovers, Birdsland Reserve is a five-minute drive away.
