'Sherwood' b.1935 is an irreplaceable full brick on sandstone bungalow locally renowned for its much treasured prize winning gardens previously open to the public as part of Australia's Open Garden Scheme. Elevated on a generous approx. 1,056sqm with access via the Kyong Street cul-de-sac, this remarkable residence is a show-case of timeless architectural elegance including a perfectly matched double storey addition at the rear which overlooks a north facing level lawn privately screened by greenery. Interiors have been meticulously maintained and the period features would almost certainly be impossible to replicate including Jarrah floorboards throughout and a blend of pressed tin, ornate plaster and rich Oregon timber to many of the ceilings. A unique opportunity for both garden enthusiasts and those who appreciate build design and quality, the home is further enhanced by a serene neighbourhood setting close to Stringybark Creek Reserve, 350m from city buses and within 400m of The Canopy and Longueville Road shops, cafes and restaurants.
