The two major bedrooms rest at the front of the home and are enormous with central fireplaces and with the master bedroom having access to its own private porch.
The hero of the home is the massive grand central living room with feature fireplace, double access doors to the front verandah, a classic bay window seat and service window into the adjacent kitchen.

Positioned on the opposite side of the hallway is the tidy central bathroom and the hidden American laundry, then make your way to the rear of the home and you will find the tidy well-sized dining and kitchen with ample cupboard space, room for a large sized fridge, double bowl sink and the serving window into the living room.

A 3rd bedroom or second living area is also positioned at the rear of the home and again has a central fireplace, jarrah flooring, high ceilings and ornate cornicing.

Zoning is R12.5 and the area is in a heritage protection precinct which encourages homeowners to retain and renovate, to highlight the typical character features of the period. A renovation can see a roof height reached of 10m if it is a pitched roof, which could entail a lofted third level under the roof, subject to council approval.
