Alice in Wonderland - Alice Cottage - $240000

Description

Historically integrated into the fabric of this Heritage niche ( SAM 21) is the exquisite Alice Cottage. Built for a family member of Sir Julius Van Haast Provincial Geologist from 1861-1868 who lived in the Avonside area and for whom the street was named.. From the sunny front courtyard the mature tree allows enough sun in whilst maintaining privacy from the street. But from the street you can view the interesting yellow and blue stained glass windows with the matching door and see that next door is it's accompanying twin which creates a lovely cottage street appeal and reminds you of a time when life wasn't so rushed. With the city only walking distance away it's nice to know you have a haven just behind the front door. Stretching before you is the hallway with access to the large front bedroom and sunroom featuring the themed lead light windows, the cosy lounge with heat pump and the groovy Tongue and Grooved kitchen. With the reeded glass doors combining with the expensive T&G cupboard doors it exudes a lovely country feel and a place to feel welcome, have a cup of tea and a chat. A short hallway leads you to the bathroom on one side and another bedroom on the other side and to the enchanting backyard. Divided into rooms there is a Barbeque and entertaining area with space for a large outdoor table and through a rustic archway to the private relaxing garden and veggie patch. There's so much to discover within Alice Cottage that it will keep you wondering.
