Elegant Art Deco

Step into timeless elegance with this impeccably preserved and thoughtfully updated Art Deco, located in one of Newtown's most coveted, blue-chip pockets. A true blend of period charm and modern functionality, this four-bedroom home offers generous proportions, exquisite detailing and the ideal layout for contemporary family living. From the moment you enter through the grand double-stained-glass doors, you're welcomed by a wide timber-panelled hallway that sets the tone for the rest of the home. Rich walnut timber wall panelling, leadlight features, ornate ceiling roses and soaring high ceilings celebrate the craftsmanship of the era while creating an inviting warmth throughout.
