15 Foster Street, Allenby Gardens.

When classic character collides with contemporary chic the result is the best of both worlds, as this gorgeous c.1905 single-fronted cottage will attest. It is quite the catch for buyers who love the romance of yesteryear while craving modern luxuries and everyday convenience. Oozing kerbside appeal through the charm of a bullnose verandah, stone façade and leadlight windows, you know there's something special inside. And there it is… the rich and rare beauty of authentic timber floorboards, the allure of quaint timber fretwork, and the lofty vibes that come from soaring ceilings. Your first stop is the romantic primary bedroom, where the setting sun peeks through leadlight windows finished with crisp plantation shutters. Picture rails remind you of bygone eras, while the built-in robe is beautiful function complementing nostalgic form. Sunshine floods the similarly dressed living room, adorned with an original fireplace. From there things get serious as you step into the sparkling kitchen and dining space, the stunning wet area warmed by morning sunlight, and the second beautiful bedroom enjoying a garden outlook. The aggregate concrete driveway wraps around to form a terraced entertainment area, beyond which lies a lush, landscaped garden and a powered shed for weekend projects. Factor in the family-friendly and lifestyle-focussed locale, and you have a winner. - Torrens title, two-bedroom cottage on a 395sqm allotment - Renovated throughout with restored original features - Authentic timber floorboards, picture rails, leadlight windows - Primary bedroom: built-in robes, ceiling fan, leadlight window, shutters - Spacious second bedroom - Large living room: original fireplace, leadlight window, shutters - 2023 kitchen reno: Asko induction cooktop, pantry storage, timber benchtops, Bosch dishwasher - 2023 bathroom reno: semi-freestanding bath with shower, heat lamps - Wall-hung bathroom vanity and vessel sink - Ducted, zoned and wifi connected reverse cycle air conditioning - Aggregate concrete driveway - Lush lawn, landscaped gardens - Powered garden shed/workshop - Backyard outdoor entertainment space - Public transport options of bus and train - Zoned Underdale High School - Zoned Allenby Gardens Primary School (walking distance) - Close to River Park Reserve and Linear Park walking and cycling trails - Local shops and cafes nearby - Walk to St Michael's College (primary campus) - Nearby shopping at Welland Plaza and Armada Arndale - Easy drive both to the city and the beach - Owner-occupied and family-focussed suburb RLA 285309
