A classic country home with a cottage aesthetic just minutes from the CBD sounds too good to be true but it’s all here at 50 Wilks Avenue in Kooringal, a four-bedroom, two-bathroom family home with more than meets the eye.

Built in the beloved English dormer brick cottage style, the home has a small-town rural charm, especially with its warm lighting and prominent street-facing windows.

“It’s great for someone looking to secure a unique home in a great neighbourhood; it really stands out with its styling,” One Agency Wagga Wagga agent Harry Mangelsdorf says.

The home is brimming with personality, evident in its street aspect, but it also focuses on quality materials that will stand the test of time.

Materials like the brickwork on the exterior and the hardwood floor in the dining room give the home a sense of rustic charm but also make the home solid and long-lasting.

“The home has a lot of architectural merit; it’s going to be a real selling point,” Harry says.

The bedrooms are all located on the top floor, with charming windows looking out over Wagga as the home benefits from an elevated position.

The master features an extra window and boasts a walk-in robe with plenty of storage and an ensuite with a massive spa bath.

“The bedrooms have had a refresh, the current owners have put in new cooling and heating as well as repainting the walls and adding new carpet,” Harry says.

The home has two separate living spaces, with a formal more open space at the front of the house that features a central gas fireplace, while the back of the home has a more intimate living area, with doors for privacy.

The heart of any home is the kitchen, and this one shines, with stone countertops, plenty of storage for the home chef to use and SMEG appliances.

There’s also a study for the professional working from home or a business owner who needs a dedicated space in the home to work. But it could be converted to whatever the owner needs or wants.

Outside there’s room for entertaining with a private garden area with an established tree providing plenty of shade. During the warmer months it’s the best spot for a barbecue with mates.

But the real centre of the outdoor space is the pool. With a deck, in an elevated position on an already elevated block, it has views over Wagga and it catches the sun beautifully.

“It’s great in the summer; barbecues could easily become pool parties at this home,” Harry says.

Within walking distance of the Wagga Botanic Gardens and just a few minutes’ drive from the CBD, the home is centrally located with access to all the best amenities in town.

“The location is great, it’s so close to town, and anything you need is just a few minutes away,” Harry says.

With a charming architectural style, fantastic location, great outdoor space, and refreshed interiors, 50 Wilks Avenue is a unique home with a lot on offer to be excited about.
