Big hearted little darling in the Avenues

A charming Avenues cottage upgraded for contemporary living and incorporating a surprising amount of space.

The original cottage was built in 1937. In the early 2000s it was renovated, extended and insulated. It has kept some of the quirks that endear us to character homes while incorporating the open plan layout we love with spaces for relaxing, a dining alcove and a light practical kitchen linked to a separate laundry. The beautifully big bright sunroom makes an inviting second lounge with its own private deck. The current owners have created a modern cottage environment you will fall in love with, combined an efficient solid fuel heater with a heat pump to keep you cosy. There's one big bathroom and, if you desired an en suite and walk in wardrobe, you could convert the fourth bedroom right next to the main one.

Very practical fully fenced front yard with a double carport for your vehicles and the original garage at the rear for storage. Just enough space on the site to feel expansive but no chance you'll become a slave to it. You live within walking distance of all levels of schooling and the hospital and within easy reach of the CBD, even closer to local shopping precincts.

And there's that big cherry tree at the front to delight you with pink blossoms in the spring, shade you in summer and let the sun shine through in the winter.
