Magnificently positioned within a deep 1635sqm approx. botanic garden allotment with tennis court (on separate title) and pool on the corner of Muntz Street, this landmark solid brick, slate-roofed Federation residence with turret is a stunning testament to the grandeur and romance of the era.

Quietly set at the "Paris" end of Alma Rd behind lush, landscaped foliage and a sprawling tessellated return verandah, the majestic arched central hall creates an instant impression with its intricate details, ornate vaulted ceiling, leadlight windows, designer light fittings and premium Danish floorboards. The spectacular Sitting room with fireplace and circular daybed nestled into the bay window connects to a beautiful Formal Living Room of grand proportions with arched open fire and a decorative ceiling that is utterly breath-taking. A versatile Family Room with open fire is the ideal family media/TV room. Dark timber floors flow through the gourmet kitchen boasting stone benches, double ovens and integrated fridge/freezer. Saturated in natural light, the expansive dining room opens to a sunny terrace overlooking the large mosaic tiled heated swimming pool, huge entertaining terrace and mod grass tennis court.
