The image is instantly recognizable as a product of its period, while the inside story is all about renovated spaces and a modern mood. Two downstairs bedrooms, each featuring an original fire-place, plantation shutters and built-in robes lead to a central lounge where high ceilings and an original fire-place enhance the proportions, with evaporative cooling throughout. Beyond, a separate living/dining area is accompanied by a gas log fire-place and open-plan kitchen where an island bench, free-standing stainless steel oven and ample storage combine beautifully.

A spiral staircase ascends elegantly to an upstairs level offering a third bedroom, with its own built-in robes, beneath the raked architectural ceilings of a striking, stylish void that adds volume and light to this highly desirable design. The bathroom, downstairs, offers a dual vanity, generous bath and the clear sense of enduring quality that's evident everywhere throughout this rewarding residence's spaces while hydronic heating and evaporative cooling deliver desirable comfort levels.

Patio entertaining, the rear garden's established lawn, productive planter boxes, pleasing depth and rear right-of-way provide an ideal outdoor backdrop to a property in a position that's always, understandably, in high demand.
