Overview
Situated in the sought-after suburb of Newtown, this renovated post-war cottage offers a distinctive blend of classic character and modern convenience on a fully fenced 531 square metre allotment. Preserving its original charm, the home has been thoughtfully updated to meet contemporary living standards while keeping features such as VJ panelling in the formal lounge, which creates a welcoming and warm ambiance.
The living spaces include a formal dining room with air conditioning, providing comfortable settings for family meals and entertaining guests year-round. The kitchen stands out with its character-rich yet functional design, featuring an island bench, a dishwasher, an upright electric stove and oven, a traditional potbelly stove, and ample storage, appealing to those who enjoy culinary pursuits or entertaining.
- Three carpeted bedrooms equipped with ceiling fans and built-in robes ensure restful privacy and comfort for all household members.

The updated laundry offers excellent storage solutions, complemented by security screens throughout the home for peace of mind. Outdoor living is a highlight with a large covered alfresco area, fully screened on three sides, making it a versatile and comfortable space for entertaining or relaxation regardless of season.
The large, fully fenced backyard includes two driveways with side access controlled by two electric gates, a single garage, two garden sheds for additional storage, and a fire pit perfect for cozy evenings. The inclusion of a 6kW solar system underlines the property's sustainability and helps reduce running costs.
Proximity to local shops, parks, and schools such as Newtown State School and Wilsonton State High School, both in the catchment area, makes this home particularly appealing for families, first home buyers, or investors seeking a low-maintenance yet character-rich property in a tightly held locale.
