The Gardener’s Cottage - Steeped in history and lovingly restored with vision and style, 11 Palmerston Road is a 1910 villa that captures everything we adore about heritage homes with its gracious proportions, character detailing and a timeless sense of place.
The hidden approach garners anticipation and the arrival does not disappoint! Once through the charming yellow front door the stained glass and original floorboards deliver you to the first reveal: an impressive and unexpected crisp contemporary kitchen where the mix of stainless steel and large stone benchtops complements an abundance of warm timber cabinetry. Sunlight and warmth enhance this beguiling room courtesy of an accompaniment of windows including an oversized window seat - the ideal place to stretch out whilst your partner prepares dinner - a window with sea views above the sink (if one is tall enough) and a roof light to deliver a heavenly gaze.
With the perfect combination of charm and modern comfort, the lounge, with its original fireplace and panelled ceilings, speaks to its storied past, while thoughtful updates bring it effortlessly into the now with one level living and classically curated bathroom spaces designed for everyday ease. Bi-fold doors open onto the expansive lush and verdant garden, featuring romantic, picturesque seating and dining framed by the heartwarming scent of lavender, structured topiary hedges and harbour glimpses - a private natural haven for entertaining or simply unwinding. Walk across the lawn and discover another surprising reveal: an independent and characterful apartment in-keeping with the main residence. High ceilings, timber floors, large pendant lighting and ubiquitous fold out wall bed affords accommodation with adaptability, and is complete with its own heritage-meets-coastal style bathroom and French doors out onto a private deck.
Three bedrooms, two bathrooms and two living zones provide flexibility for families, downsizers or those seeking a refined work-from-home lifestyle.
Privately nestled in one of Birkenhead Point’s most admired streets just moments from the vibrant village, boutique cafés and restaurants, ferry links; as well as stunning city and harbour views and several different tracks through the bush.
This is a home where stories live on and new chapters begin.
