A beautiful marriage of period detail and readymade comfort, this captivating Cooks Hill home has character in spades and a location that's hard to beat, with Civic Park, local pubs and Darby Street's dazzling array of eateries just steps from the front door. Spanning two impressive levels, it delivers a charming retreat where breathtaking plasterwork ceilings, stained-glass windows, high ceilings and rich timber accents celebrate the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Space is another big drawcard, with four double bedrooms, two separate living areas, two bathrooms and a dining zone adjoining the kitchen creating a versatile footprint. Front and rear balconies, a traditional front verandah and leafy courtyard provide a choice of outdoor escapes, adding yet another layer of appeal. Move-in ready with scope to take it to a whole new level, this is a rare find that proves they really don't make them like they used to – and here you have the chance to enjoy all the character while making the next chapter your own.
