A true blend of period charm and modern functionality, this four-bedroom home offers generous proportions, exquisite detailing and the ideal layout for contemporary family living.

The spacious master suite includes a walk-in robe and a private ensuite, while the three additional bedrooms are all appointed with built-in robes and desks - perfect for growing families or guest accommodation. A large, fully-fitted home office and a separate built-in study nook provide two dedicated work-from-home zones, ideal for busy professionals or families needing space for remote learning.
