Weatherboard Cottage C 1942

Built in 1942, and still going strong, is this well-loved cottage on quiet, leafy Keera Street. From its freshly painted exterior and interior, to its recently renovated bathrooms; the main one with underfloor heating, and the smaller one with its original claw foot bathtub, to the bright, sun-filled kitchen, complete with an antique farmhouse sink and a stunning, near new Falcon oven, this home has a lot to offer.
The main front bedroom has a fireplace, and across the central hallway with its polished cypress pine floors, (which extend throughout most of the cottage), is the second bedroom, which, with its north facing bay windows, remains sunny all day long. The third bedroom, at the back of the cottage, has French doors that open out onto the large back garden, where big, established trees provide lush greenery and shade in the summer, then obligingly shed their leaves in autumn to let the winter sun into the garden. Lie in bed on summer nights, with a cool breeze coming in through the French doors and listen to the frogs in the in the pond, just off the back verandah.
Generous and open, the lounge/dining room connects with the kitchen via an archway with a breakfast bar and also has French doors that open onto the garden. A very effective wood heater and a new split system air conditioner keep this space warm in winter and in summer, the split system plus the three ceiling fans in the cottage, keep things nice and cool.
The laundry also connects with the kitchen and doubles as a walk-in pantry, complete with plenty of bench space and a butler's sink, making it a beautiful as well as functional, workspace.
Along with the split system, a new 6.6kW solar system, an in-line water filtration system and a ducted super-silent Schweigan exhaust fan in the kitchen and bathroom have recently been installed, making the cottage even more of a pleasure to live in than it already was.
The well-established garden at 58 Keera Street has very good bones and extends over two lots, on separate titles. There is enough room here to grow a veggie garden that could feed half of Bingara!
A stone's throw from the racecourse, the golf course, the bowling greens and the Sporting Club, with the beautiful Gwydir River just a short stroll away, this warm and bright cottage is ready for new owners to move in and start living their best life in beautiful Bingara.
