HISTORY




LISTING DESCRIPTION
as of March 2012

WARMTH AND CHARACTER - AND WHAT A GARDEN! In a tranquil cul-de-sac close to parkland, this wide terrace cottage (ca 1890) has been lovingly restored and extended to maximise northerly natural light and energy efficiency. The picture-book quality of its wide block-fronted façade and pretty front garden is immediately appealing. Opening from the neat hallway is a double bedroom, with decorative ceiling, Baltic pine over mantel and built-in wardrobes. Set across the full width of the house is a spacious sitting room, with Baltic pine ceilings and a Jetmaster wood fire, opening to a bedroom/study with fitted cabinetry. The welcoming timber country-style kitchen and large meals area are flooded with light from a north-facing wall of glass. From the kitchen, a wide passage opens to the roomy main bedroom, which has another full wall of glass overlooking the garden. A tiled two-way tiled bathroom contains a separate bath and shower, and a laundry recess.Wrapping around two sides of the house, the surprisingly deep landscaped courtyard garden is a sheer delight, with its carefully chosen cottage plantings and two outdoor living areas. In one corner is a beguiling garden reading room/retreat. Features of this inviting property include mellow timber finishes, leadlighting, ample storage and reverse-cycle air conditioning. And what a location - so close to bike paths, St Georges Road cafes, shopping, tram and rail transport and the Edinburgh Gardens. See it and be captivated! ## EOI CLOSING 31st MARCH @ 5PM UNLESS SOLD PRIOR ##Agent: Nelson Alexander Pty Ltd
