Royston Cottage
This charming cottage in Rose Park is pretty as a picture. With its white frontage, picket fence and climbing rose covered arch this sweet 3 bedroom home looks as if it has come from the pages of a story book.

This late Victorian era cottage with federation styling has the original leadlight windows, high ceilings, ornate fireplaces,wide polished floorboards and myriad character features. Two spacious bedrooms are arranged at the front of the house. The first features a fireplace with twin built-ins on either side and a beautiful box bay window with ornate leadlight. The second, decorated in rich heritage tones, also features a splendid art nouveau fireplace.

Down the hall is the formal dining room with a large fireplace and more windows with exquisite and colourful leadlight. The dining room leads to a third bedroom which could also serve as a study. Beyond the original, well preserved part of the home is a more modern extension which floods the open plan areas with light, enjoying lovely aspects to the green and shady garden.

The bright open plan kitchen and meals area overlooks the spacious lounge room. The kitchen is light and white with expansive bench tops and huge picture window opening to the side courtyard. The entire back wall of the lounge area enjoys floor to ceiling glass to maximize the northerly garden aspect. A large wooden framed sliding door opens this room up to the side courtyard, a delightful paved and sunny spot to enjoy a morning coffee. The deep, serene garden affords this home maximum privacy and respite from the summer sun with a wonderful shady peppercorn tree and cooling lawn area. At the very rear of the garden and discreetly tucked behind latticework, is a handy clothes drying area and garden shed with concrete floor.

For those looking for a traditional home with the finest decorative features you really cannot go past this cottage. Much more spacious and elegant than other inner suburban cottages the generous proportions and modern inclusions such as reverse cycle split system, security system and contemporary kitchen make this a very livable home. Grant Avenue is one of the most desirable streets in this genteel neighbourhood within walking distance to the delightful cafes, bakeries and boutiques of Dulwich, Norwood Parade and the city. It is surrounded by other elegant homes and it is truly a prestigious location that will always be in demand.
