Overview

1950's Chocolate Brick on the Banks Street Ridge

Enveloped by acres of parkland, this beautifully maintained 1950s high-set brick home occupies an elevated position along the Banks Street ridge. Capturing a glorious eastern orientation and glimpses across the treetops to the city skyline, it is a marvellous piece of ground framed by established greenery and the expansive Banks Street Reserve. Capturing wonderful natural light and cooling breezes, the home remains comfortable and highly functional with tremendous scope for reimagination. Timber floors, generous windows and ornate cornices speak to its era, while the flexible floorplan provides a highly functional foundation for family life.
