A visitor once described 18 Lake Macdonald Drive, Cooroy, as a “Tardis” and it’s easy to see why. On the outside, this single level, three bedroom brick home presents a neat, compact face bordered with cottage plants and picket fences to keep children and dogs IN and aliens and Daleks OUT. However, swing open its rose coloured front door and the interior, like that of Dr Who’s Tardis, seems to magically extend. This surprising effect – achieved by the removal of a few walls and doors and the clever use of white paint, mirrors and ‘lime-washed’ bamboo flooring throughout – offers several open spaces for lounging/dining, reading/sketching, singing/dancing… One can even play Masterchef in the new country kitchen with its stone benchtops, porcelain butler’s sink, tiled splashback, soft close drawers and pantry. And the good things don’t stop there. There are three bedrooms (one double, one king single and a queen size master with its own sun dappled sitting room); a big 1003m2 block with a magnificent mango tree providing shade and somewhere to hang the hammock; a 2-car garage; a great undercover breezeway/terrace and outdoor dining area and utilities old (bathroom) and new (laundry) which happily serve all the occupants. Best of all, the property is within walking distance of schools/childcare, shops/cafes and the thriving hinterland township of Cooroy. As such, it would suit young couples, parents with young children and older people living alone because it offers privacy, affordability and accessibility to amenities. Arrange an inspection today!
