With its tuck pointed brick facade and bullnose verandah hidden behind a secure, gated entry, this unassuming frontage reveals a spacious and well appointed residence, blending turn of the century Federation style and modern comfort.

Benefitting from a recent renovation, 40 Ferguson Street flows effortlessly from front to back. With two distinct living zones comprising a designated front wing of bedrooms flowing through a central living space into the combined living and dining area, this home offers the flexibility of space to rest and retreat in comfort or to entertain and accommodate guests with ease.
At the heart of the home, the central living space exudes warmth and character, centred around a gas fireplace and elevated by a handcrafted Georges French rattan petal pendant suspended from an ornate ceiling rose. Rich jarrah floorboards flow seamlessly beneath, weaving each space together effortlessly.
Bathed in natural light via the northern windows and overhead skylight, the renovated kitchen built by Louis Homes provides a welcome contrast to the historically preserved character features of the original structure.
