With its classic Victorian terrace façade, you'd be forgiven for assuming this home dates back to the late 1800s. In reality, it was custom built in 2007, cleverly echoing traditional terrace architecture while delivering far more space, light, and everyday comfort. The two-storey frontage, arched windows, lacework verandah and formal gardens set the scene, while inside, 10ft ceilings, ornate cornices, fretwork and timber floors establish a strong sense of character, balanced by light-filled, easy living spaces.
Formal lounge and dining rooms take pride of place at the front of the home, anchored by a gas fireplace and generous proportions that suit both entertaining and everyday living. At the rear, the home opens into a relaxed family zone centred around a marble-topped kitchen and a second fireplace. French doors extend the living space outdoors to a secluded, covered entertaining zone that works just as well for coffee as it does for cocktails. A guest powder room and full laundry complete the lower level. Upstairs, four well-scaled bedrooms are supported by a family bathroom, while the main suite stands apart with its own ensuite and verandah access, a classic nod to terrace design. A gated side driveway and single garage deliver at least three off-street parking spaces, an increasingly rare luxury in this tightly held neighbourhood.
Life here is as much about community as it is about the home. Coffee at Praise Joe or Equium Social becomes part of the routine, Islington Park is perfect for kids, dogs and fresh air, and the Throsby Path makes cycling to Honeysuckle or even Nobbys Beach an easy, everyday option. Families will also appreciate that children can walk safely to the local school, well regarded for its opportunity classes.
