Overview

Character Home on Rare 774sqm Flat Block

Set among lush gardens, the home feels like a private sanctuary. Alive with butterflies, lizards, and over 35 species of birds, it offers a tranquil, nature-filled setting just moments from everything. Beautifully preserved, the home retains its original character with VJ walls, polished hardwood floors, built-in cupboards, and authentic period fittings. Breezeways and windows on every wall maximise natural light and airflow throughout. Upstairs features a comfortable lounge, functional kitchen and dining with timber benchtops and gas cooking, and two generous bedrooms, all enjoying leafy, calming outlooks. The bathroom continues the home’s charm with a clawfoot bath, brass fittings, and handmade tiles.
