43 Cosmo Road, Trentham, VIC, 3458, Australia

Sitting pretty on one of Trentham's most desired streets is Tilia, a beautifully restored 1930's cottage. Thoughtfully and creatively renovated this home ticks all the boxes when considering a country residence. The romanticism of a wisteria wrapped verandah, wood burning fire, soaring ceilings, winding garden paths and a giant Linden tree from which the home takes its name.

Immediately upon entering this home you can see the pride and attention to detail that has been taken with its restoration. The original Tasmanian Oak floors gleam and draw your gaze down the entire length of the home, providing a glimpse of what is to come. The house features two good sized bedrooms with full-length built-in robes and carpet; one also features a beautiful window seat complete with further storage. These bedrooms are accompanied by a light and bright central bathroom with toilet, vanity, and shower over bath, which is adjacent to a neat and tidy European laundry.

The three metre ceilings of this home are most evident in the open plan kitchen, dining and living areas creating a spacious central hub. The contemporary kitchen features a generous timber island bench, gas and electric cooking, abundant self-closing cabinetry and a wall of windows providing lovely views of the garden. The adjacent living and dining areas feature a nectre woodburning fire and split system and timber ceiling fans to circulate the heat. At the rear of the home is the master bedroom complete with built in robes, private ensuite and French doors providing direct access to the home's delightful alfresco area.

The covered, rear red brick paved entertaining area is sure to be a hit. Imagine firing up the BBQ and gathering with family and friends over good food and a glass of something cold, later sharing stories around the private fire pit as night falls. But that is not the end of the outdoor amenity; it also includes a fabulous studio. With fully double-glazed windows and door, insulated and featuring floating timber floor this is the perfect home office, creative studio, or additional accommodation.

All of this is set in a magical cool climate garden, where there is something for everyone all under the watchful gaze of the ancient Linden and Oak trees. There are private and meditative spaces, in addition to loads of room for the kids to play, a well-constructed home for the pet chickens, raspberry patch and fruit trees. But it is the beautiful magnolia, wisteria and rhododendron plantings that will make you swoon.

The home is completed with a double car garage with dual roller doors and pedestrian door, further garden / tool shed, and a creatively incorporated outdoor toilet. The house is partially double glazed, features full under floor, wall and ceiling insulation and includes a 4kwh solar system with Fronius inverter and Sanden heat pump hot water unit.

43 Cosmo Road is the quintessential Trentham home; embracing the cottage's history while lovingly and creatively updating it to enjoy the absolute best of country living. This is indeed a home with heart.
