Single-fronted Victorian weatherboard with a bullnose verandah, 3.4 m ceilings and a sunny rear garden two streets from Lake Wendouree.

Behind the picket fence is the cottage people slow down for on their walk to the lake. The fretwork, the ceiling roses and the Baltic pine boards are all original. The plumbing, wiring and insulation are not, because the owners spent 2023 doing the unglamorous work first.

Three bedrooms run off a wide central hall, with the main bedroom at the front behind the verandah. The rear living and kitchen open to a north-facing deck and a garden that gets sun all afternoon, even in July.

It's a short walk to Lake Wendouree, the Soldiers Hill shops and Macarthur Street primary school, and about four minutes' drive to Sturt Street.
