A picturesque vision greets you as you approach this elegant period residence. A white picket fence, landscaped garden and a classic return verandah creates a memorable first impression. Of course, inside is where the home's real personality comes to light with Kauri pine floors, a bright, 1.5m wide hallway, colourful leadlights, ornate ceilings, crisp paintwork, and the undeniable sense of a time gone by.
Beautifully restored and renovated, the three-bedroom home transforms at the rear into a contemporary haven showcasing a striking island kitchen, Euro laundry and eye-catching full-size bathroom, with effortless flow onto an alfresco entertaining area and large backyard. Adding to the already exceptional appeal of this property is the DA approved plans to add a swimming pool, and the addition of extra accommodation above the double garage, ideal for teens, guests or as a means of generating supplementary income via rental or as an Airbnb.
