Step inside this delightful cottage and be embraced by a lovely restful ambience and warm fuzzies that will have you wanting to stay.
Renovated in a well-considered fashion and steeped in history, it is very evident how much love and care has been lavished upon this home since its humble origins as a coalminers cottage in the 1800’s. The blend of Rimu and Kauri timber flooring lend soul and character to the interior effecting a striking contrast to the soft, creamy colour palette.
Branching off a central hallway, the bedrooms capture morning sun whilst the light-filled living area is perfectly situated to attract afternoon sun. A heat-pump and inbuilt fire adorn this lovely spacious room which is recessed at one end to create a study or reading nook.
And then into the heart of the home – the kitchen / dining space. Such a pleasure to behold with everything you could ask for, from the charming wood-burner, gas hob and electric oven to the dishwasher, pull-out pantries and soft-close drawers, this space has a wonderful country-kitchen feel and opens directly out to a sunny private patio in the rear garden.
To ensure everyday living is comfortable and pleasurable, no expense has been spared – there is insulation in the ceiling and underfloor, heating and air-conditioning taken care of, full rewiring and plumbing completed and a new roof installed.
The garage with internal access is a blessing especially in winter and whilst it offers parking for one vehicle, the double-size affords options as workshop/mancave or office space – it even lends itself to working from home due to ranch-sliders giving separate access. There is also a second toilet here for convenience.
The property is ideally located just a short stroll from the comprehensive Kamo shopping centre with local schools in walking distance and the CBD, less than a 10 minute drive.
