Set behind the idyllic white picket fence you will find the great Australian dream at Lavender Cottage. The fence bordered with English box hedging, the pathway lined with Iceberg roses and the façade framed with three kinds of Lavender – all adding to the charm of this stunningly renovated weatherboard family abode. Featuring 3 bedrooms plus a 4th smaller bedroom / study, 2 separate living areas plus open plan dining, 2 renovated bathrooms, double remote car accommodation and all on a corner allotment of approx 717sqm – and all kept in comfort with evaporative cooling and ducted heating.
Upon entering the home you are instantly impressed by the tasteful modernisation that is at the same time in keeping the character & charm that is becoming a rarity in this style of property. The bold entrance hall gives way to hardwood floors that carry through to the living zones.
The light-filled kitchen is the true hub of the home and boasts stainless steel SMEG appliances including 600mm oven, 4 burner gas cooktop, under-mount rangehood and dishwasher. Crisp stone benchtops against rustic cabinetry continue the cottage vibe with breakfast bar, coffee station and walk in pantry also being highlights.
Two separate living zones make for family harmony, with the formal living at the front of the home and a second family room that is open plan with the kitchen and designated dining area - all these areas reap the benefit of stunning floorboards, ceiling fans, light dimmers two sets of French doors that lead out to both the front verandah and generous rear deck that instantly creates an extension of your entertaining spaces.
The master bedroom suite is of large proportions and features plush carpet, ceiling fan, dimmer, walk-in-robe and double roller blinds. The ensuite is sleek and stylish with floor-to-ceiling subway tiles, stone bench top and stainless steel shower with heritage inspired tapware. A smaller 4th bedroom, nursery or study (whatever your needs may be) is located adjacent to the master bedroom. A further 2 bedrooms are zoned to the rear of the home and feature plush carpet, built-in-robes and single roller blinds. The main bathroom echoes the stylings of the ensuite but also has the inclusion of a bath & ducted heating.
Entertaining your family and friends is a breeze with the large & elevated deck flowing from the living zones. Overlooking the generous and lush lawn you will be able to keep an eye on the kids whilst catching up with loved ones. Whilst kids will have a ball in the designated outdoor play area that has been concreted for ease and stability, Pittosporums provide a soft hedge to the deck, and two raised veggie patch boxes with a garden shed to the back of the property complete the backyard. The double remote carport with matching white picket fence, provides two car accommodation plus the ability for a further 2 cars to park in tandem in the driveway.
