Chubby camelias, dusted tea roses, splashes of pelargoniums, geraniums and golden sprigs of dandelion lead you to a home that will have you missing your grandmother’s best sponge-cake. A beautiful, lilting experience washes over you upon entering the private, gated front patio. Double-wide French doors open into a spacious air-conditioned lounge lapped in mint-condition rose-satin decoupage wallpaper so ornately vintage it will never go out of style. A wide adjacent dining space via glass bi-folds leads through to a big,
long-refurbished but still-gleaming kitchen.

A surprise of 4 bedrooms, master as an immense extension jutting out to the curling rear gardens and featuring walk-in-robe. 2 more have built-ins and a plethora of hallway storage closets are dotted inconspicuously throughout. Modern fixtures in the bathroom become beautifully blended against their charming cottage-theme surrounds. Decorative iron grills twist themselves securely against every window in the home.

Outside, past a separate downstairs laundry and storage room, the romance of old-fashioned landscaping sees a cornucopia of spiralling vines, nestling shrubs and exploding flowerbeds fed onsite via a 3,000 litre water tank. A converted rear carport becomes a secluded pergola space to breathe in heady afternoon honeysuckle and jasmines. An additional carport has been added to the front, but with access to the original still existing beyond the installed gate, the potential to establish dual car accommodation is yours.

A magical space to grow old in. You’ll just never want to leave.
