Last Listing description (July 2026)

Proudly freestanding on approximately 320sqm, "Waverley" holds a historic legacy as the very first home built on the street. Behind the classic single-fronted faade, picket fence, and tessellated-tiled bullnose verandah lies a flawless blend of late 19th-century charm and highend modern comfort. Soaring ceilings, warm Baltic pine floorboards, and multiple original fireplaces create an immediate sense of inviting elegance.

The elegant hallway introduces two spacious bedrooms and a central lounge. The main bedroom is privately positioned at the front, offering a serene, sophisticated retreat with lush new carpeting and twin built-in robes that beautifully book-end an open fireplace. Further down the hall, the elegant lounge boasts another original fireplace with a decorative mantel, serving as a graceful space to unwind.

The home seamlessly flows through to the open-plan kitchen and dining domain, where soft grey tiled flooring brings a fresh, modern feel to the classic interiors. The custom kitchen showcases stunning designer cabinetry, stone finishes, a generous breakfast bench, gold hardware, and premium integrated Fisher & Paykel and Haier appliances.

Broad sliding doors extend the adjacent dining zone outdoors to a private, North-facing entertaining deck. Protected by a high pitched roof, this is an idyllic setting for relaxed gatherings, looking out to a rare asset for this premier locale: side-by-side, two-car parking with remote rear lane access.

Showcasing refined finishes throughout, the newly updated bathroom is just stunning. Fully tiled and illuminated by a bright skylight, it beautifully mirrors the kitchen's signature cabinetry. The space offers ultimate comfort with SunRay underfloor heating, a stone vanity, and a large shower with feature tiling and a luxurious rain shower head, all complemented by a cleverly hidden, ultra-convenient European-style laundry.

Additional features include:
- Ducted reverse-cycle air-conditioning
- Classic plantation shutters in bedrooms & lounge
- Motion sensor lighting in main bedroom robes
