With its flourishing cottage gardens, elegant period façade and beautifully updated interior, this stunning Lorn property is a picture of elegant sophistication.
Thriving beds of agapanthus line the edge of the property in front of the traditional picket fence, which has been painted in a deep grey tone for added contrast to the vibrant green gardens.
Manicured hedges and established shrubs keep the classic cottage garden theme going inside the front gate, flanking the central pathway and drawing the eye towards the charming front porch, itself a picture of period perfection with its bullnose verandah, timber decking, vintage-style coach light and timber and stained glass front door.
The lovely weatherboard and iron roof cottage was built in the early 1900s but has been beautifully refreshed inside and out, with a white and grey colour palette giving the façade a traditional yet sophisticated finish.
The interior continues this sense of elegant sophistication, with original features and period elements seamlessly integrated with modern conveniences and an updated décor.
High ceilings, tall skirting boards, picture rails and decorative ceiling roses maintain the home's connection to its original construction, while a sympathetic rear extension completed in 2019 provides an expanded footprint with open plan living space ideal for modern families.
Four generously-proportioned bedrooms are located in the original section of the house, featuring beautiful hardwood timber floorboards that add a sense of warmth and texture to the spaces, while timber sash windows are another lovely traditional element.
The master suite offers a peaceful retreat with a spacious four-door built-in wardrobe and a gorgeous ensuite completed in November 2021 that features a mix of heritage and modern styling with decorative period feature tiles to the floor, traditional wall panelling and a feature timber storage cupboard alongside the walk-in shower with frameless glass screen and the LED downlighting.
The main bathroom has also been renovated in a similar style and offers a beautiful and practical space for families with a luxurious wet room area that includes a designer freestanding bath and a walk-in shower recess.
Two large living spaces make this home ideal for families, with an elegant formal lounge featuring all the hallmarks of a period cottage including the original timber floorboards, a cast iron fireplace with timber mantle, half wall panelling and a ceiling rose with antique style pendant light.
Double French timber doors make a feature of the storage cupboard while a TV connection point ensure this is a usable space where families can relax.
The second living area forms part of the stunning extension at the rear of the home, alongside the pleasant dining area and eye-catching new kitchen.
Golden tallowwood floorboards provide a modern connection to the flooring in the rest of the home, while full length louvred windows and double timber and glass doors flood this space with natural light.
The kitchen offers a lovely balance of old and new with custom timber cabinetry and wall panelling painted a matching deep rose hue, vintage-look antique brass handles and a rustic timber island bench that provides extra storage and preparation space and helps to define the adjoining areas.
Modern touches including sleek 40mm stone benchtops, soft-closing cupboards and drawers, a stone splashback and 900mm freestanding ILVE dual oven with gas cooktop give the kitchen a luxuriously practical feel, while the walk-in pantry with 40mm stone benchtops, built-in cupboards, ceramic sink with antique brass mixer tap and laundry facilities is an added bonus for buyers.
This open plan living zone flows seamlessly out to the large undercover alfresco area at the rear for easy indoor/outdoor entertaining, with timber screening, decking and wraparound steps making this a lovely focal point in the backyard.
Lush established gardens, manicured lawn and neatly clipped hedges make this an attractive and peaceful space to enjoy, with a towering tree in the rear corner offering a magnificent focal point and plenty of shade.
A single car lockable garage and workshop is a practical addition to the backyard, with double gates at the front of the property allowing easy access to this area.
Situated in one of the finest streets in the picturesque riverside suburb of Lorn, this property is within walking distance of the local primary school, sporting facilities and neighbourhood.
