The beauty of its homestead style period lines, a romantic return verandah and the appeal of a location that puts Mason Street's shops, Newport station and primary schools within such easy reach each add to the impetus for capturing this classical three or four bedroom home. The original floorboards, hallway fretwork and high ceilings of the bedrooms convey a sense of character that always finds an appreciative audience while the living and dining areas, which also retain their beautiful floorboards, flow to a well-designed, previously renovated kitchen. Timber cabinetry takes its cue from the floors, broad benches are a smart addition and modern appliances remain totally serviceable in a home where the bathroom's functionality and the separate laundry's convenience enhance the current day experience. As the future unfolds, options for a contemporary renovation can be acted upon, STCA, which will result in a landmark residence on a site already offering a garage, carport, side drive parking and rewarding garden dimensions.
