Steeped in history and graced with period features, this property seamlessly blends the best of the past with the comforts of modern living.
KITCHEN + DINING + LIVING
The meticulously renovated kitchen is a masterpiece, styled with respect to the era of the home and boasting thick marblesque stone benchtops, stainless steel appliances, dishwasher, pot drawers, pantry, overheads, and open timber display shelving. This culinary haven not only pays homage to the era but also caters to the demands of modern living.

The lounge is thoughtfully set apart from the open-plan dining area, allowing for a tranquil escape from the activities in the adjacent kitchen. This lounge room is a sanctuary where one can unwind, surrounded by the warmth and timeless elegance of natural timber floorboards and the airiness and sophistication of lofty 10 foot ceilings.
BATHROOM
The bathroom, a sanctuary of relaxation, has undergone a contemporary transformation. Featuring a generous shower recess, a convenient shower nook, and standalone bathtub, it is a perfect blend of luxury and functionality. The stylish white backdrop with black trim exudes sophistication, creating a spa-like retreat.
The European laundry discreetly tucked into the bathroom linen cupboard adds a touch of modern convenience without compromising the home’s aesthetics.
