Dense trees & tropical shrubbery completely conceal this little gem from an earlier era. This extensively refurbished cottage has been positioned right near the back of the large block and is quite invisible from the street. Foraker Drive is a very quiet street with no through traffic and offers a lovely natural setting as well as a level of quiet that makes you feel you are living out in the bush. Indeed you would have no idea from the street that this secret hideaway could possibly have a view, but it does! It enjoy a gorgeous outlook over to Panorama Point from the kitchen & even catches just the odd glimpse of Gold Coast lights from the rear verandah.

The 1930s built, 2 bedroom hardwood timber cottage was moved here from Southport some years ago & has been refurbished since then. It has a modern zincalume roof, all new plumbing & all new electrical wiring as well as all new concrete stumps (as per Council requirements). A lovely big north facing covered timber outdoor living area with trestle seating that snuggles into the garden has been added as well as a very sturdy new double carport & a good workshop / hobby room. An arched roof over the garden deck is topped with clear alsynite to keep the sun out and let the light in. Indeed this deck is so private that you could do a little sun bathing here and only the birds in the garden would ever see you! The seller assures us that all Council Finals have been obtained.

The seller has modernised indoors, but tried to retain the integrity of the cottage. So the lovely old double hung timber windows and charming bulkhead windows in the kitchen have been kept, as has the stable door opening out onto the rear verandah. The hardwood floors have been retained and repolished in the kitchen and dining areas while light toned carpets now grace the lounge and both bedrooms. A slow combustion wood fire for cosy winter nights is another new feature here. The decor is light and cheery with touches of red in decor items for contrast. This dear old cottage is now a real little charmer, all ready to welcome new owners. As time goes by I am sure those new owners will find various ways to enhance and improve their home in a way that will further add to its charms and its value. There is certainly opportunity for extension should someone love what it has to offer, but feel the need for a larger home.

At this price, you are looking at excellent value with privacy and that vista being added bonuses.
