Step through the gates and up the grand stairs of this remarkable Deagon property and you’re instantly transported back in time yet embraced by all the comforts of modern living. At the front of this expansive 809m² block stands the original four-room Railway Cottage, believed to have once served as a ticketing office at Roma Street Railway Station in the 1880s. Relocated to Deagon around 1956 by Mr. Les Burton, the cottage has been lovingly preserved, and its story is woven into every beam, window, and wall.
The home’s heritage is immediately apparent as you step inside. The original front window in bedroom 3 whispers tales of a bygone era, while careful consideration of materials has been a priority to replicate the history of this home. These details lend a sense of warmth, history, and timeless charm, while the thoughtful renovations ensure modern comfort and practicality throughout.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen is a chef’s delight, featuring a butler’s pantry and a large feature window that frames the lush greenery outside, bringing the outdoors in. From the kitchen, living and dining spaces flow seamlessly onto a back deck overlooking a generous backyard, sparkling pool and spa, creating the perfect setting for entertaining family and friends.
At the front of the home, a wraparound deck extends off the three front bedrooms, offering elevated views and a charming connection to the street, ideal for morning coffee or watching the sunset.
The residence offers five spacious bedrooms and three bathrooms, designed to accommodate a growing or multigenerational family. The master bedroom is a private sanctuary, complete with a walk-in robe and ensuite, while upstairs, the main family bathroom features a shower and a freestanding bath combining luxury with practicality.
Downstairs, with independent access features a covered patio and study nook provide versatile spaces for work, relaxation, or quiet reflection, while a downstairs bedroom with bathroom offers additional privacy and flexibility for guests.
For those who love adventure or need extra storage, the property offers side access with ample room for a boat or caravan, making it easy to park recreational vehicles securely off the street. Under the house, there is a spacious, versatile area that is perfect for tradies, hobbyists, or anyone needing extra storage, workshop space, or a place for projects. This functional space adds another layer of practicality to a home that already combines heritage charm with modern living, ensuring it caters to both lifestyle and work needs.
Additional practical features include keyless entry through the house from the laundry, an attic ladder with lighting, and a secondary power board serving the rear section of the property.
