Location matters in this 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom, typical workers' cottage, set in a quiet street, with a wide nature strip, tucked in behind the TAFE College. With a large allotment of 790 square metres, and substantial room to extend, 15 Edward Street offers the opportunity to appreciate the charm of a character home, in an inviting neighbourhood, conveniently positioned to be able to easily walk to historic Queens Park and the city. Established and respected east side schools are also within walking distance or a few minutes' drive away, and you can almost smell the coffee from Burrow Café.

The traditional symmetrical fa�ade is highlighted by the extensive, wrap around, bull nosed verandah, solid timber front door and beautiful colonial doors, which feature on both sides of the built-in, front bedrooms. All carpeted bedrooms include gorgeous, pressed metal ceilings and VJ boards on the walls. The 3 bedrooms peel off the central hallway, as does the large and functional bathroom. The timber floors and VJ walls (with picture and dado rails), continue to the combined living and dining room, which extend into the kitchen. Generous in dimension, the modern kitchen has ample bench space, stylish subway tiles and stainless-steel appliances, including a dishwasher and wall oven. French doors open onto the exceedingly wide verandah. From there, stairs access the external laundry. Here, the true appeal of the unencumbered allotment can be appreciated as there is great potential to add a sizeable, sympathetic extension.

Surrounded by homes of a similar era, which have undergone restorations or inevitably will, 15 Edward Street, with its original features, evokes a subtle gentleness which can only be amplified.
