Get ready to be charmed by this original beauty dating from the 1870’s. Scarlet Oak Cottage is a beautiful example of a classic Greytown character property, still located on its original site on Main Street, but sympathetically modernised for today. Formerly known as Samuel Maxton’s cottage, it was originally the private residence of the town’s confectioner and baker.

The two storied cottage has a flexible layout and is currently configured as three bedrooms. Downstairs has a large bedroom, a combined dining and living room leading out through French doors to a deck, a functional kitchen which was updated a few years ago but could be improved further, and a beautiful tiled family bathroom. As is common with a cottage of this age the bathroom leads off the kitchen. Upstairs has two bedrooms, both with stunning matai floor boards and views over the gardens. The large master bedroom could easily accommodate an ensuite if required.

The two storied annex was built in the 1980’s to complement the cottage and features an enclosed carport with utility rooms alongside which are currently used as a woodshed, study and laundry. Upstairs is another large room leading out to a balcony overlooking the rear garden.
The gardens feature a wonderful selection of flowering plants including roses, camelia, and wisteria. If you like to eat your own home grown produce you will appreciate the raised vegetable beds, fruit trees and grapevine. Not forgetting the two scarlet oak trees by the driveway after which the cottage was renamed.

The current owner is still in love with this property but needs to sell due to a work opportunity elsewhere. This property must be sold and it has been priced very close to GV to assist with a quick sale. You will appreciate the value when you view this beauty.

This property has had a wonderful past and now it’s ready to be a part of your future.
