The locally heritage listed “Kenmare” Cottage was originally built in 1881 and sits on a delightful 2,030m2 block. Whilst keeping the original charms of its mid-Victorian era, the cottage was extended considerably in 1990. Beautifully positioned with an easterly aspect looking out onto Brisbane Water, situated amongst the trees, the house creates a picturesque scene with high pitched rooflines, beautiful wrought iron lacework and verandahs on all sides.
The residence combines historical features including original floorboards, high ceilings with ornate cornices, a claw-foot bath, ornamental fireplaces, original leadlight and stained-glass windows and doors, with a contemporary kitchen and bathrooms.
The floor plan is functional with the informal livings areas being open plan, with plenty of natural light and overlooking the rear of the property. The fifth bedroom could be used as a rumpus / guest room or home office, as it has external access. The home has excellent storage space throughout, ducted and split system air conditioning and a tri-zoned security alarm.
Connected by paved walkways, the well-established landscaped gardens include immaculate lawns, established trees, two gazebos, a brick BBQ area, and large garden shed and a feature pond with a charming statue.
“Kenmare” showcases a real slice of history and is located in a quiet cul-de-sac within a peaceful neighbourhood.
The property is conveniently located a short walk from the bus stop, Aldi supermarket and Green Point boat ramp, whilst Green Point Shopping Village, Erina Fair Shopping Centre, local and private schools, Gosford CBD, the M1 motorway and beautiful beaches, are just a short drive away.
