Sometimes the smallest homes leave the biggest impression. In sought after Springlands, this charming 1960s weatherboard cottage feels like a little retreat from the everyday. There is an immediate sense of warmth here, from the greenery that frames the property to the way the home sits so comfortably within its generous grounds. It is the kind of place that feels quietly special, full of personality, heart and the sort of charm that never goes out of style.
Inside, the home is beautifully simple and wonderfully inviting. The open plan kitchen, living and dining space creates an easy flow for daily life, with natural light spilling in and ranch sliders opening directly to the north facing deck. The kitchen is a standout, centred around an impressive five burner chef’s gas stove that feels purposeful for creative cooking, shared meals and evenings spent cooking for friends and family. The bedroom is generous in size and enjoys its own ranch slider to the deck, creating a peaceful connection to the outdoors. A heat pump keeps the home comfortable through every season, making this an easy and effortless place to settle into.
Outside, the appeal only continues. Set on a spacious 605sqm section, the grounds are fully fenced, easy care and filled with established greenery and gardens that soften every corner. The wraparound deck extends the living space beautifully, creating a sunny place to sit, entertain or simply enjoy the quiet surroundings. A large separate double garage offers exceptional practicality, with one bay featuring a mechanic’s pit for those who like to tinker or work on projects at home. There is ample off street parking for vehicles, along with room for a camper, boat or trailer without compromise.
Adding another layer of versatility is the private studio space attached to the garage. Downstairs offers a compact living area, kitchenette and tiled bathroom, while stairs lead to a loft style upper level that could easily serve as a bedroom or a creative workspace. Separated from the main home by its own courtyard area, it provides privacy and flexibility for guests, extended family, work from home potential or even an additional income stream (pending COA). Rarely does a property offer this combination of charm, practicality and possibility, making it an opportunity that feels both unique and full of potential. Approved extension plans for the main cottage and a completed soil report are also available, offering a clear head start for any future development.
