Stunning rural views form a breathtaking backdrop to a first homebuyer dream lifestyle nestled in beautiful surrounds across from Silvan Reservoir. Immediately charming beyond the seclusion of a wide front hedge, the character appeal of this gorgeous cottage will capture your heart from the moment you arrive. Displaying all the features that we love from front veranda shading the weatherboard exterior to old fashioned high ceilings with decorative plasterwork, quirky windows, old floorboards, brick fireplaces and clawfoot bath, ushered into the modern age with a complementing update.
Beneath a ceiling rose and soaring ceiling height, a fireplace focused lounge room offers a cosy place to snuggle in front of an open fire on winter nights. French doors in the kitchen/dining room extend to a covered entertaining deck at the rear allowing breathtaking views and easy access to the outdoors for entertaining. White cabinetry offers a fine contrast to richly coloured walls and the red of the fireplace brick anchored by a freestanding 900mm stainless steel stove along with ducted heating and cooling.
A breathtaking view and built in cabinetry to the master bedroom and VJ panelling and floorboards polished to perfection, provide two delightful bedrooms with a third housed in a separate studio in the backyard. As with the home, the studio has been modernised with floating flooring and ceiling fan and offers the option of a work from home space or studio. Open an antique timber door with leadlight glass to a perfectly formed clawfoot bathroom with brass showerhead and tapware and black and white floor tiles adding to the character theme.
