PRETTY AS A PICTURE
Combining cottage character, surprising space and modern conveniences, this delightful property in Warragul is sure to win you over.
A thoughtful and considerate renovation has transformed the quaint cottage into a practical, yet welcoming home whilst retaining many of the original features.
Three bedrooms, including the main bedroom with a walk-in robe and ensuite, gorgeous period styled family bathroom, light and spacious living area, beautifully crafted kitchen and a large utilities room are features of the layout.
Additional improvements include a covered deck off the living area and a huge shed/workshop complete with a pot belly stove, air conditioner, builtin bar, a separate toilet and laundry facilities. There is an area behind the shed to store a van or trailer, accessed by a roller door.
The gardens are neatly landscaped with standard roses, lawn and deciduous trees, including maples and silver birch.
A recycled brick path leads from the charming picket fence to the front entry.
Polished floorboards, moulded cornices and painted dado are featured in the entry hall.
Soft pastel colours with crisp white ceilings and architraves are a soothing combination throughout the home.
To the left of the entrance is the main bedroom, opposite are the two secondary bedrooms.
Original leadlight windows with a window seat in the main bedroom are a link to the past whilst the walk-in robe and ensuite, completed just 12 months ago, are more recent improvements.
Both of the secondary bedrooms have built-in robes, one bedroom has a split system air conditioner.
Further along from the entry are the family bathroom, a study nook and the utilities room with outside access to the deck and clothes line.
Chequered tile flooring, a timber vanity, claw foot bath, walk-in shower and a toilet are found in the bathroom.
Two linen presses, a second toilet and a custom built timber topped cabinet with a ceramic farmhouse sink are features of the utilities room.
The rear of the layout is dedicated to the living area, taking advantage of the light northerly aspect.
A slightly lower level than the front section of the home has allowed for a higher ceiling in this airy, inviting space whilst timber flooring, deep cornices and sash windows preserve the period style. Centrepiece is the provincial designed kitchen, flawlessly crafted by local cabinet maker Andrew Gallagher.
Timber counter tops, a subway tiled splashback, dual farmhouse sink and country profile cabinetry, including an impressive mantel over the cooker, create an efficient, yet homely work space.
Quality appliances include a Euromaid dual oven cooker and a two drawer dishwasher.
Two sets of French doors from the living area lead to the deck and rear verandah with steps down to the garden.
Ducted gas heating throughout, a solid fuel heater and a split system air conditioner in the living area plus a ceiling fan in the main bedroom provide year round comfort.
The property is located in a quiet, established neighbourhood of town, a short walk from the Warragul North Primary School, Early Learning Centre and parkland.
For the buyer who appreciates the romance of old world character without forgoing modern amenities, this charming property is hard to beat.
Number 1 Tobruk Street, Warragul is to be auctioned at 12.30pm Saturday 8th September 2018.
