With a timeless bluestone façade and lush cottage garden, this c.1886 home is perfectly located within this highly-sought after blue-chip suburb. A thoughtfully extended and beautifully maintained family home, rich in warmth, charm, and modern comfort.

The full-length entry hall is adorned with polished hardwood floors and soaring 3.3m ceilings. Three spacious bedrooms line the hallway, including a luxurious main suite with walk-in robe and ensuite. A cosy sitting room adjacent to the main bedroom showcases original character features, offering a peaceful retreat or elegant second living space.

The fourth bedroom sits alongside a stylish family bathroom with an indulgent bathtub, and a large laundry with excellent storage and outdoor access.

The heart of this home is the expansive open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, designed to embrace family life and indoor-outdoor entertaining. Striking timber batten ceilings and architectural windows create a sense of space and light, with parquetry flooring adding warmth and texture.

The kitchen is well-appointed with quality Westinghouse and Asko appliances, ample bench space, generous storage, and a breakfast bar. An additional living room sits just off the dining area-ideal as a formal lounge, home office, or kids’ retreat.
