This home was originally a charming traditional weatherboard cottage built in 1900. It is situated ideally right in heart of Stokers Siding village, in easy walking distance to the public school, the post office/coffee shop, the gallery and the community hall.

Eight years ago, it was bought by a skilled and talented cabinet maker/builder who after repainting inside and out and replacing the roof of the original house, extended it out into the rain forest garden, doubling the living space in size and creating a light-filled, private, four-bedroom, two-bathroom, unique home for his family of six. The quality of this home is superb.

In addition to the original houses three double bedrooms and living space, the extension includes: a modern spacious chefs kitchen with 900mm stainless steel electric oven with gas top, polished concrete benchtops, dishwasher, filtered drinking water system and generous storage; a light-filled office space with day bed; a new family bathroom with deep bath; a very efficient Metro wood stove set on gorgeous stone hearth; a separate laundry; a large and private back deck looking onto the back garden and a master bedroom and ensuite with its own entrance off the deck, which is the ultimate adults retreat and just a delight to wake up to the sound of the abundant birdlife that inhabits the garden. All four bedrooms have ample built in storage.

The garden that surround this home is unsurpassed. It is made up of exotic and native fruit trees and bird attraction rainforest plants. It includes an above ground vegetable patch, a unique and well-designed chook shed and a river that provides a place to paddle, fish and camp beside.
