What more could you ask of this cottage at 57 Rocket Street?

This property is nestled between similar homes in a quiet part of lower Rocket Street. 

From the street, you see an old cottage behind a white picket fence, with the front garden filled with trees and shrubs. 

Inside, you can tell the home has been updated over the years, but not to the extent that it loses that old charm and character. 

One Agency Bestwick Real Estate buyers associate Jim Connors said there are many character features evident throughout the home, the floors being one of them.

“The polished timber floors are a great quality feature of a home of this age,” he said. 

There are also two open fireplaces in the bedrooms. 

One of the things to note about this home is its flexible floorplan, which can be changed to suit the needs of the occupier. 

In its current configuration, the two front rooms are used as bedrooms, while a room at the back of the home serves as the living room. 

This could be changed around as needed, with the living room able to become a third bedroom or study if required. 

One of the parts of the home that has been updated is the kitchen and dining area.

The dining space is elevated and adjacent to the kitchen, which has been renovated in the last decade. 

It is provincial-style and includes white cabinets, plenty of bench space, modern Smeg appliances and a re-purposed fireplace that has become a shelving unit. 

The provincial style flows through the home, even to the bathroom.

It is quite a large space and includes standing shower, bath, vanity and a separate toilet. 

Outside, you see more additions to the property. 

There is a great timber deck that is perfect for entertaining, while the garden also offers a paved alfresco area. 

Other great outdoor features are the sustainable vegetable garden, large storage shed and drive-through access from the carport. 

This property also offers established gardens, ducted gas heating and a surprising amount of natural light. 

Mr Connors said this home could suit a range of people and is already generating a lot of interest. 

“I think it is going to suit a wide range of buyers looking to enter the CBD area, particularly in this price range of under $400,000,” he said.

“It would definitely suit a family or an older couple looking to downsize.”
