THE Voice loves a home with oodles of character.
This Maylands abode doesn’t disappoint.
It starts with the pastel pink weatherboard facade.
It shouldn’t work, but it does, adding a subtle splash of colour to the white trims on the verandah and window sills.
It’s distinctive without being idiosyncratic.
With the cottage-style facade on this two-bedroom, one-bathroom house, you might expect the rooms to be poky and dim.
But on opening the front door, you’ll be surprised at the amount of light and space, courtesy of the high ceilings and neutral colour scheme.
The lounge has all the heritage bells and whistles with decorative cornicing, a period fireplace and polished timber floorboards.
It’s a lovely space and feels super classy with the dangling pendant lights completing the pretty picture.
The kitchen is another delight—a huge affair with subway tiles, gorgeous stone benchtops and white cabinetry. It blends old and new perfectly with an old-school oven recess rubbing shoulders with stainless steel appliances.
It’s a bit like a farmhouse kitchen with a modern twist.
There’s plenty of light streaming through the bank of bi-fold doors at the side of the kitchen.
From here you can walk straight onto the elevated deck, which overlooks a lush, bush-like garden with mature trees, grass and umpteen plants and shrubs.
It’s a fantastic spot for alfresco meals with family and guests, and there’s plenty of room for a BBQ, pizza oven and dining/lounge setting. It’s got a roof, making it a year-round spot.
The bottom of the garden is a bit of a blank canvas and could be the perfect spot for a pool, home studio or workshop. The 690sqm block is zoned R60, so there’s plenty of scope for development.
The bedrooms continue the high standard with the main having a separate dressing room.
Both bedrooms share a modern bathroom wth a bath/shower.
There’s also a laundry and separate WC.
The home includes split-system air conditioning, separate dining area and a garden shed.
Situated on the sought-after Peninsula Road, which is known for its character homes and convenient riverside location, this Maylands abode is a real looker.
One of those properties you walk in and think—“I’m buying this.”
