The piece-de-resistance is a beautiful bow window with delicate lead light glazing and window seat in the lounge room while the separate sitting room has access to the return verandah. The well-planned extension has been sympathetically added and includes jarrah floors throughout the open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. The light-filled kitchen boasts a big granite-topped island bench, stainless steel appliances and corner pantry while the dining area can easily accommodate large-scale dinner parties. The main bedroom includes a fabulous bay window with co-ordinating lead-light glazing, ensuite and walk-in robe while the family bathroom and laundry complete the home.
