| Dreamers
and romantics will be totally charmed by the loving care and restoration that
has gone into a captivating place for modern living while still retaining the
charm of the 19th century cottage. The 3 bedroom plus study home was originally
moved to its 1/4 acre site about a decade ago and now resides within a private
garden that manages to convey the feeling and flowers of spring even in the
winter months. Gleaming polished timber floors, very high ceilings, ceiling roses and open
archways create a sense of time and space throughout the home. The most striking
feature of all is the wonderful array of original doors and double hung windows.
They are so stunning that you would want to own the home just to enjoy their
beauty! These fabulous features compliment both modern bathroom and kitchen
as well as the creature comfort provided by reverse cycle air conditioning
and a slow combustion wood fire. This is a classic centre hall home entered through a magnificent front door.
Living space on the entry level includes:
- Entry
hall
- A stylish lounge room
- Spacious dining room
- 2 Double bedrooms
- Single bedroom
- Office / studio
- Plus a truly inviting and private front verandah looking out into green
and colour filled gardens.
A side driveway leads down to a very extensive concreted area underneath the
house. As well as providing accommodation for 2 cars, it also includes the
laundry, a workshop area and a fun filled indoor / outdoor living area for
parties & BBQs. If there is one single attraction here that will touch the heart of many,
it is the Satin Bower Bird’s bower that has occupied the same spot in the garden
for about 10 years. Each year the creator returns and redecorates his courting
playground to the absolute delight of the current owners. Of course, it is
easy to understand why he does return, it is a beautiful garden tended with
love and care - The PERFECT SPOT for a young man with romancing on his mind! You will fall in love with “Bower Bird Cottage”! |
