Inside, a traditional hallway reveals whitewashed hardwood floors, VJ walls, French doors, sash windows and soaring 3.6-metre ceilings, filling the home with warmth, natural light and a wonderful sense of scale.
Designed around family living and entertaining, the upper level flows effortlessly from the open-plan living and dining areas to both the wraparound front veranda and the expansive rear entertaining deck.
