One of Norwood's original cottages and boasting one of the suburb's best addresses, this c1900 single fronted, free-standing 3 bedroom cottage has been lovingly maintained to offer contemporary accommodation with an irresistibly nostalgic twist.
The modern black palette on the picket fence and front timber work accentuates the gorgeous stone facade. Beyond the welcoming tessellated tiled verandah and once inside, soaring ceilings with intricate plasterwork and arched detailing along with original fireplaces all nod back to the heritage.
The deep passageway leads past the three bedrooms, each boasting glorious ceilings and built-in wardrobing, the first and second bedrooms are graced with open fireplaces and classic plantation shutters.
The cottage's kitchen has been updated with white cabinetry and warm, textural timber bench tops and the stainless steel oven with gas cooktop is nestled into the former wood oven recess.
Life here is centred around the rear, open plan living and dining zone where double doors in the wall of glazing fling open to the paved verandah, courtyard and carport - sun-dappled and adorned by the dainty flowering Star of Jasmine, this is a idyllic setting for relaxing and alfresco entertaining. The carport is secure and accessed via the rear lane.
The bathroom with blue floor tiles contrasting beautifully with the sparkling white, includes a large walk-in shower, bath, w.c. and modern vanity with valuable storage; while finalising the floor plan is a separate laundry with built-in cupboards (including overhead), bench space and convenient access to the side outdoor area.
