Classic original features meld seamlessly with a sensitively implemented and tastefully designed contemporary renovation, in this substantial family home. Elevated to take in views of the River Derwent from every room and enjoying a sunny outlook nestled above the slipway, the property occupies a sheltered position bathed in all day sun.

The entry wing comprises generously proportioned open plan living forming the heart of the home. Accommodating the light-filled and spacious family and dining room and the well-equipped kitchen with quality appliances and granite benchtops, this an expansive space where the whole family can come together and entertain friends.
