A picture-perfect white-picket fence and lush established front gardens frame the historic façade, providing an elegant introduction to the home.

Individual lighting selections add a considered finish, with a beautiful chandelier to bedroom one and designer pendant lighting to bedrooms two and three. The spacious living space sits at the heart of the home, offering an inviting setting for both everyday living and entertaining. The gas fireplace enhances the space and creates an atmosphere hard to replicate. Beautiful steel-framed double doors create a considered connection to the adjoining kitchen, where an industrial-inspired aesthetic is complemented by quality Smeg appliances, including a gas cooktop, oven and dishwasher. The bathroom has been timelessly renovated with sleek floor-to-ceiling tiling, and Roca sanitary and Grohe tapware, while the European laundry is discreetly integrated to maintain the clean, considered aesthetic throughout. From the kitchen, the home opens seamlessly to a private outdoor entertaining terrace, extending to a beautifully paved pavilion framed by established gardens and centred around a beautiful ornamental pear tree for summer shade and change throughout the seasons. Beautifully maintained yet wonderfully low maintenance, the outdoor setting is perfectly suited to relaxed entertaining and long lunches, with a built-in stainless-steel BBQ and wok burner completing the space. A secure lock-up garage provides valuable off-street parking, with the potential for two-car accommodation subject to configuration. There is an ease to this address that is difficult to replicate.
