Having identified the ideal property to be closer to family, the owner is committed to his next move and is ready to pass this much-loved home on after 19 years of ownership. For buyers seeking character, space and genuine opportunity, this is a property that deserves your attention.

There is something undeniably special about homes of this era. Full of charm, character and history, this delightful 1900s split-level cottage sits on a generous 1,619sqm (more or less) section and offers a warm and welcoming place to call home, with scope to add your own touches over time.

Inside, the home features two bedrooms, including a spacious main bedroom with excellent built-in wardrobe storage. The family bathroom is thoughtfully configured with both a shower and separate bath, while the open-plan kitchen and dining area forms the heart of the home. A Rinnai heater provides year-round comfort, and a sliding door opens to a sheltered porch – the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee or relax at the end of the day.

A few steps up, the cosy lounge provides a peaceful retreat, complete with a Sahara woodburner that creates warmth and atmosphere through the cooler months. The split-level design adds character and interest while maintaining a practical and connected layout. Outside, functionality meets opportunity. Two woodsheds provide excellent firewood storage, while the double garage and attached workshop offer plenty of room for vehicles, hobbies, projects or additional storage.

The expansive section is a standout feature, providing space to create the lifestyle you've always wanted. Whether it's establishing vegetable gardens, planting fruit trees, keeping a few chickens, expanding the existing gardens or simply enjoying the privacy and room to move, the possibilities here are plentiful. There may also be future subdivision potential, subject to council approval.

Character homes on large sections are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Combining charm, practicality and future potential, this property presents an exciting opportunity for first-home buyers, downsizers, investors or anyone looking for a home with heart and room to grow.
