FIND. From the moment you enter this Federation style semi, the period charm surrounds you. Through the secure entrance way, you are greeted with manicured gardens and intricate Federation tiling along the path and covered porch, offering a peaceful place to sit and reflect. Through the leadlight front door, you continue along the hallway of the original part of the home that is brimming with character. The ornate ceilings and skirting, period light switches and picture rails throughout all paint a picture of the history of this family friendly abode.
