Well-appointed and centrally positioned in a popular Deakin location amongst delightful gardens this graceful extended cottage, creates numerous intimate outdoor zones that are as picture perfect as the beautifully renovated interiors of this special home.
Inside, an elegant black and white palette is a perfect foil for the flourishing greenery glimpsed through timeless sash windows. Honeyed timber floors to the casual living areas are warming and grounding, while an original wood fireplace in the north-facing formal lounge promises cosy winters.
French doors extend the open family and dining space to the wraparound rear deck that's swathed with a cascading vine.
Meandering red-brick paths lead to the middle of the garden where an oversized pergola houses the cottage's original kitchen stove and has built-in seating beneath the cool drapery of a mature and pretty, mauve wisteria.The stylish kitchen is both practical and beautiful - a very modern space with gleaming black granite benchtops, it maintains the feeling of classic charm through a recessed cooktop, farmhouse sink and bespoke plate rack. Two full chic bathrooms with checkerboard-style flooring echo the classic theme. Contemporary fixtures have been sympathetically chosen to reflect the home's period. Pedestal sinks and a clawfoot bath are aesthetically and functionally stunning.
When four roomy bedrooms and a study are taken into account alongside this home's position close to quality schools, shops, Red Hill walking trails, the Parliamentary Triangle and the Deakin medical precinct, work-life family harmony is assured.
