Storybook cottage a place to call home

Lovely family home on a large block is sure to impress

The combination of timber and stone create a unique and charming facade for this cottagestyle home in Shepparton’s north. Immaculately presented and set on a large 1501 sq m corner block, the home is surrounded by well-kept lawns, mature trees, garden beds filled with bright flowers, and features a private resort-style pool. Inside the two-storey home there are ample options for family living and entertaining. On the ground floor is the open-plan living area boasting a timber kitchen with walk-in pantry, gas cooktop, electric oven and dishwasher, tiled dining space and spacious lounge. Plastered dado walls, fretwork, cathedral ceilings, exposed beams and colonial- style windows further enhance the storybook cottage appeal. Also on the lower level is a second lounge, two bedrooms – including the main with walkin robe and ensuite – a study alcove, family bathroom complete with spa bath, and a fully equipped laundry with excellent storage space. The other two bedrooms are on the second floor and are accessed by a timber staircase. They have sloping ceilings, are well-lit from the abundance of natural light streaming in the dormer windows and share a third living space and ensuite. Quality drapes and carpets, ducted gas heating and evaporative cooling add comfort to the home. Sliding doors from the living area allow easy access to a sunny, raised timber deck that gives a perfect view of the sparkling in-ground tiled pool, which has a resort feel with mature palms, decorative rocks and a paved seating area. The property has excellent storage. A lock-up shed has a concrete floor and power connected and is accessed by a side gate, there is also a double carport and long driveway capable of accommodating a caravan, boat and vehicles.
