The home is being offered for sale for the first time in 40 years.
Recently repainted throughout, the home retains a wonderful collection of original features, including polished timber floorboards, high ceilings, timber-lined walls, decorative detailing and traditional fireplaces. A long central hallway leads through the home, with three generous bedrooms positioned to one side. Separate living and dining rooms provide excellent space and flexibility, with the inviting lounge centred around a beautiful original fireplace with glass picture windowed doors either side. The adjoining dining room has its own fireplace and connects through to the kitchen, creating a natural flow between the living spaces.
The updated kitchen combines contemporary cabinetry and benchtops with the warmth of original timber flooring and a character brick fireplace. A central bathroom with shower over bath is complemented by a separate toilet and dedicated laundry, while hydronic heating throughout provides warmth and comfort during the cooler months.
Outside, established hedging provides wonderful privacy, while two magnificent palm trees frame the home and create an impressive sense of arrival.
