Description
Deadline sale (unless sold prior) 12pm, Thu 4 Dec 2025
Tucked right in the heart of Mt Hutt Village, this three-bedroom cottage is a home with a story to tell. Once in need of love, it has now been beautifully revived, its charm and character lovingly restored by a group with vision who saw what it was always meant to be.
Step through the grand wooden doors and you will feel it instantly, the sense of warmth and welcome. From the handcrafted door handles to the carefully chosen feature walls, every detail has been thoughtfully considered to honour the homes past while embracing modern comfort.
The brand-new kitchen and bathroom bring fresh life to the space, while the cosy living area is ready to keep you snug through winters chill. In summer, the private rear deck is the perfect spot to gather with friends and family.
Outside, the easy-care 457sqm (more or less) section invites you to add your own touch, whether it is a cottage garden or a few raised veggie beds. With a spacious double garage for storage and hobbies, everything here has been designed for simple living.
This is more than a house, it is a home with heart, ready for its next chapter.
