Lifestyle upgrades to this C1900 double-fronted 3-bed character cottage in the company of Croydon's hip cafe scene is the only nudge needed to enter its rose lined garden...
Where the ornate fretwork and tessellated tiles of the bullnose verandah make way for quite the magical makeover on a neat and manageable 450sqm* allotment.
An entry hall burst of vibrant leadlight pulls back to serene designer whites, Baltic timber boards, and the home's 3 generous bedrooms and living room, each given split system cooling and decorative fireplaces off the arched central hallway.
Moving on, the social domain sees function and style really take off in the open plan kitchen/meals.
Crisp, white and semi-gloss, the cook's zone parades new stainless appliances, a rangehood and dishwasher in easy platter-passing distance to casual dining, where dinner is given a moody glow from a chic halo of trick new lighting before joining the outdoors at a slide of the patio glass door.
And when doesn't entertaining take us outside? Here, a fashionable spread of concrete, tiles, exposed brick and new verandah roofing combine to create an indoor/outdoor feel that's very much a part of the home.
A runway of lawn for the little ones, a 2nd, separate WC off the upgraded laundry, and summer nights in with a nibbles plate, a vino and friends is complete.
Even the main bathroom with its decade-ago upgrade is still bang on trend; plenty of floating storage, a corner shower, spa bath, and a dousing of fresh white on blue that never dates.
In a suburb so well connected with Kilkenny train station in a stroll, nearby Armada Arndale and Westfield West Lakes covering retail, some 8kms to both the city and Grange, and Port Road on call - all this and more from a character cottage remastered...
