There’s no denying this double-brick 3-bedroom home owns it position between town and sea, and today, its soul is reawakened with a transformation from antique to on-trend on its entertainer-sized, 363sqm block.
As one of Torrensville’s first ever builds, its days of lush farmland, horses and a much larger landholding are gone; yet the home remained in original family-owner hands until 2018 – where a new caretaker and a fully renovated, new identity – saw many artefacts discovered, reflecting on its 130-plus years of prominence.
Now, they could be yours
Ideally placed for the commuter on the city side of Marion Road, the home revels in a fresh white coat of street appeal, a garden to impress with an open air alfresco, rear deck and designer beds before the interiors reveal its contemporary comforts.
