Overview
This charming circa-1940s freestanding cottage, known as “Rondelay,” offers a unique blend of timeless character and modern comfort nestled amid lush cottage gardens in a secluded setting. Its private position away from the street and immersion among treetops provides exceptional privacy, while the quality craftsmanship of a bygone era shines through period features such as ornate ceilings, decorative cornices, polished timber floorboards, and original Art Deco lighting.
The home’s layout features two distinct living areas that create versatile spaces for both entertaining and quiet retreat. Central to the home is a stylish, newly renovated kitchen that boasts premium finishes including a Smeg oven and cooktop, a generous breakfast bar, and an integrated office nook — all overlooking tranquil garden views that infuse the interiors with dappled natural light. The main living area opens out to a covered rear deck that looks across a private rainforest gully, ideal for relaxed indoor/outdoor gatherings.
Accommodation comprises three spacious bedrooms characterised by period detailing and garden outlooks. The main bedroom includes built-in robes, and an elegantly appointed bathroom complements the heritage aesthetic, featuring a cast-iron clawfoot bath and a walk-in shower with brass fittings.
The expansive outdoor areas enhance the lifestyle appeal with a wraparound verandah offering sunny northern and western aspects, tiered gardens with sandstone walls, peaceful pathways, and mature landscaping that encourages birdlife and connection to nature. Additional functionality is provided by abundant under-house storage and a workshop.
An added highlight is a detached studio away from the main residence, flooded with natural light and complete with an ensuite, kitchenette, and balcony accessed through French doors. This versatile space suits guests, a teenage retreat, or home office, and currently generates income through Airbnb.
Despite its tranquil setting, the property is conveniently located within a short walk of village amenities including the centre, railway station, cafes, restaurants, school, and public transport, with the natural beauty of Morton National Park virtually at its doorstep. This home stands out as a lovingly maintained and thoughtfully enhanced sanctuary that balances village accessibility with peaceful surroundings, suitable for permanent living or a weekend escape.
