Held in the same family for almost 50 years this home is superbly set behind a broad street frontage. The charming period residence's expansive dimensions and rich original character provide a solid foundation for a renovation and extension or alternatively to rebuild as a luxurious new home or boutique development (STCA).
Baltic pine floors, high ceilings and exposed brick working fireplaces highlight the evocative period charm in the generous living and dining rooms and capable kitchen with a spacious casual meals area. Bathed in natural light, all rooms open through 4 sets of double doors to 270 degrees of surrounding North, East and South facing gardens which include an established fruit garden of blood orange trees and a lemon tree. In a solid brick former ice cream cone factory, there is an indoor pool and spa.
