Quietly secluded on the fringe of Chapel Street and Victoria Gardens, this instantly appealing weatherboard residence cocooned within lovely gardens has been perfectly re-interpreted for modern living while retaining the trademark ambience of its heritage. The timeless period character, beautifully conveyed by the classical weatherboard facade and return verandah, is complemented by contemporary light-filled interiors and a surprisingly spacious rear north-east garden perfect for entertaining. Beautifully balanced in its layout, two double bedrooms with built-in robes are generous in size; while a study/nursery is the perfect addition to the functional floorplan. The adjoining living and dining rooms invite natural light and the garden views into the interior where you can gather by the fire in the lounge and move freely between the spacious dining room and alfresco terrace via French doors. An island with a breakfast bar centres the kitchen which is well-appointed with a Smeg oven and Miele dishwasher. A contemporary bathroom with a shower and bath, separate toilet, Baltic floorboards, tall ceilings, split-system air conditioning, plantation shutters and separate laundry further enhance this easy living environment.
