'Brook Cottage': a cute-as-a-button bluestone villa with an extension to match its lasting good looks.
With a cute-as-a-button bluestone façade, beautifully preserved original features, three spacious bedrooms, a rear open-plan extension and not a crack in sight; the 1880-built 'Brook Cottage' defies its age to deliver a truly enviable slice of the eastern suburbs.
Framed in a picket fence and landscaped gardens, the reappointed tessellated tiles and verandah of that double-fronted facade form a worthy introduction to a light-filled interior that follows the timeless script of the period villa...
Dissected into two perfect halves by a hall framed in original polished pine floors and 12-foot-high ceilings, the original home offers three equally sized bedrooms and a formal lounge.
Along the way, discover the little quirks and luxuries of each space; like the recently added skylight in bedroom two, the subtly unique open-fire places, leadlight and hanging lights, the hidden underground dry cellar of the formal lounge, and the door that leads the master bedroom to your very own two-way bathroom.
The extension - headlined by hanging cast iron chandeliers, easy-care tiled floors, and a kitchen boasting a commercial grade 900mm oven, dishwasher and huge bench/breakfast bar - is an entertainer's best friend and a reminder that the family can grow here with freedom.
The custom timber-decked patio is an extension of the extension, and was born to host an outdoor setting, your morning coffee, summer dinner party, or just a quiet moment to the backdrop of the beautifully landscaped gardens before you. Perfection.
