Part of a period streetscape embracing an iconic row of single fronted Victorian cottages - this Victorian cottage is actually a complete rebuild benefitting from contemporary and building inputs.

The home is introduced by a picket fence and a low-maintenance front garden; but it is the stylish interior that trumps it all - delivering the best of contemporary living. A long hallway with dark stained timber floors is complemented by a crisp, all-white decor and loads of light from strategically positioned windows and a preferred northern rear aspect.

The accommodation features two bedrooms, main with a WIR and sleek, glass walled ensuite overlooking a central light-well as does a pristine family bathroom. A superbly appointed kitchen with adjacent concealed laundry is equipped with prestige Miele appliances and CaesarStone bench-tops within a generous dining and living room; with full-width concertina doors opening up to a wide northern, sun-drenched deck, lined with leafy gardens. Providing a huge, privately situated area for indoor/outdoor relaxation, dining or entertaining.
