A true rarity in Port Macquarie sits the iconic Dove Cottage, which occupies a prime hilltop location right within the town centre.
The cottage has commanding views of the river and overlooks the central business district.
Originally built in 1906, the home exudes the warm character and charm of that era whilst offering all the facilities of modern living under its original 10 foot ceilings.
Carefully maintained and restored over the years to its former glory, the home has been extended to carefully incorporate a large family room and upstairs multipurpose loft room with large bay windows.
The lookout style loft absorbs the warm northern sunlight and offers a high vantage point to take in the fabulous views, both in keeping with the early federation decor.
The property is set on a large 1012 square metre block with established grounds and gardens, which have modern inclusions including an in-ground swimming pool and detached single garage.
Federation features also include the original double-sided cast iron fireplace with original marble tiling,
French doors opening to wide verandahs, stained glass windows and original polished timber panelling, plus a host of authentic features such as a free standing lion claw bathtub, ornate cornices and ceiling roses.
There’s plenty of creature comforts and space for the whole family with three large bedrooms with ensuite to master bedroom, formal lounge and dining room and ample alfresco areas for entertaining.
The allotment is zoned for medium density housing, with a height allowance of five stories.
