Offering the perfect mix of heritage charm and modern style, this beautifully restored five-bedroom home surrounded by mature gardens featuring a gracious pinoak tree captures the essence of the peninsula’s past with the convenience of a quiet town setting.

With its beginnings dating back 100 years and set on a sprawling 1473sqm allotment, the home’s atmosphere is one of pure relaxation and warmth – from the polished timber floors and high ceilings to the crackling open fireplace and sensational alfresco areas for outdoor entertaining.

A large family and meals area forms the hub of the home supported by a superb kitchen with twin stainless steel ovens, a large cooktop and dishwasher, while there is also a quiet formal lounge and a sunroom that leads out to a covered pergola and a semi-attached bungalow and laundry ideal for teenagers, guests or as a home office with its own ensuite. Two other modern bathrooms serve the four bedrooms in the main residence.

A neutral palette of country colors sets off the cedar and Baltic pine timberwork, while plush carpets, split system airconditioning and ducted gas heating take care of the creature comforts.

Only a few minutes’ walk from shops and the train station and set behind tall fences for privacy, there is also plenty of off-street parking, room for garaging and even a swimming pool.
