Positioned on a generous 565 square metre fenced block, the home offers a balanced blend of traditional aesthetics and contemporary living to suit a variety of buyers seeking a residence rich in history yet functionally practical.
The residence welcomes you with a classic timber porch leading into a bright living room accentuated by a striking handcrafted timber arch — a rare architectural centrepiece demonstrating the skill of that era.
