Framed by verandahs, dual access is available into the home via the main entry or the beautiful, sunlit library ideally suited as a generous home office. Once inside, a central corridor declares the calibre of the home with high ceilings and ceiling roses, wide timber floorboards, textured wallpaper, and magnificent stained and leadlight glass. At the heart of the home is the high-spec kitchen with waterfall stone benchtops, Ilve cooker, and butlers' pantry while the accompanying dining and family room are the gateway to indoor-outdoor living through French doors onto the large deck.
