With meticulous attention to detail, quality finishes and excellent taste, this stunning character home has been re-imagined into the perfect inner-city residence. As much of the original home as possible has been retained and with the addition of chic modern conveniences, an extremely liveable and desirable property has emerged.

As you enter the large central hallway with period arch, you will find 4 generous bedrooms, all with their own feature fireplace and stunning timber floors. Moving towards the rear of the home there is a fully renovated bathroom, powder room, separate laundry, and linen press. From here you enter the new heart of the home; a modern and expansive, open plan kitchen, living and dining area. The soaring ornate ceilings flow throughout the whole home including the new additions which gives an airy and voluminous feel.
The kitchen is quite simply both huge and spectacular; with vast amounts of storage, 40mm stone tops with a massive island with double waterfall ends.
From the double doors you flow out into the covered, limestone paved alfresco. Up the stairs leads to the simple but usable grassed garden area that has the added benefit of the rear access should you require off street parking.
