Under the Blue Gum Tree.

This original District Six cottage forms part of a historic row of homes built for a shipping company and immediately captures a sense of character and story. The cottage proudly retains much of its original appeal, with wooden floors and a copper-clad fireplace and ornamental wall light fittings, creating a unique, bright and peaceful space, that feels both intimate and timeless.

The pretty front garden is paved and lush, as the street is lined with trees and a school set in beautiful gardens is located across the road. The tall CBD buildings can be seen through the trees, especially when they light up as night falls.

Enter into the west facing sunroom, with distinctive arched windows, the perfect place to catch the rays in winter with a cup of hot chocolate. This room is large enough to serve as a lounge, bedroom or an ideal home office. Move on to the vast open plan living area, with a dining room and lounge. The dining room would have been the second bedroom, but has been opened up to join the lounge and create a spacious living area. It can be easily reinstated as a bedroom. The lounge has a window to the back courtyard and a beautiful fireplace.

The kitchen is spacious and bright with fitted cupboards and a wash up basin. A back door leads to the courtyard. A prepaid metre is fitted to the wall beside the distribution board. The bathroom has a toilet, basin, bath and a shower over the bath. The bedroom has fitted cupboards and a window to the courtyard.

The back of the house has the courtyard leading to the garage, with 2 storage areas: one alongside the house and the other the length of the garage. The garage has a new door and good height to allow for suspended storage.
