Inside, high decorative ceilings, timber floors and original mantled fireplaces create a warm and inviting atmosphere, while the thoughtful renovation brings a fresh level of sophistication to everyday living. The spacious living room flows through to a dedicated dining area and a stunning newly renovated kitchen. Elba natural stone benchtops and splashback provide a beautiful centrepiece, complemented by floor-to-ceiling cabinetry and premium appliances, including a Bosch induction cooktop, rangehood and dishwasher, together with a Smeg self-cleaning oven.

The central bathroom features a double vanity and generous shower, while a bathtub in the second bathroom adds practical appeal for families. One of the real highlights is the north-facing backyard. Abundant natural light enhances the rear of the home, while the covered entertaining deck, bluestone paving and beautifully landscaped Japanese-inspired garden create an inviting setting for long lunches, relaxed evenings and time with family and friends. Rear laneway access to offstreet parking adds further convenience. And the lifestyle here is just as appealing as the home itself.
