Delightful in every way, this colourful, country-style cottage is spectacularly unique from top-to-toe and is situated in the friendly heart of semi-rural town, Bungendore - just east of Canberra - sitting just 100m walk from the main street/Kings Hwy, with all amenities, shops, cafes, grocers and hotels, Bungendore Primary and just 100m further to the train station.
On a flat 1200sqm approx., in the town’s heart and boasting a wide street frontage, this gorgeous, heritage listed cottage (dating back to 1906), boasts lovely rural surrounds and showcases a unique mix of functional, stylish, modern and upcycled pieces throughout, all the while paying special tribute to the classic, original charms of yesteryear.
Beautifully presented and meticulously maintained, the home is over a century old with original doors and windows still in place. Gorgeous slate tiles in kitchen and bathroom, the main bedroom with plush carpet; and polished timber floorboards along with a modern colour palette and ceiling fans circulating throughout. Modern luxuries include Brivis R/C air conditioner and ambient Coonara wood heater achieving effortless comfort year-round.

The delightful, renovated bathroom comes with antique claw-foot bath, separate shower, toilet and timber vanity with modern bowl sink, and services the two bedrooms - the master with double freestanding robes.
Retreat outdoors to the vintage-inspired semi-enclosed alfresco veranda, complete with original and working Canberra Stove - the perfect centrepiece of this worthy outdoor escape and the perfect spot to gather on those chilly winter nights.
Double carport provides undercover off-street parking behind shady, established trees and easy-care landscaped gardens, plenty of paving, extensive driveway right around, along with an original freestanding outhouse or potential studio/retreat, wood shed, water tank AND, the handyman will fall head-over-heels for the huge 16m x 8m industrial-sized Colorbond man-cave, which will easily fit all the cars, boats, caravan, bikes and trailers!
