This classic Victorian residence located in one of Canterburys most desirable tree-lined streets within the prestigious Golden Mile precinct offers a unique blend of period charm and spacious living. Set on a substantial 858sqm allotment, the property is surrounded by mature trees and beautifully landscaped gardens, providing privacy and a serene outdoor environment that enhances the home's traditional aesthetic.
The house is remarkable for its enduring period attributes, including an intricately crafted iron lacework verandah, colourful stained glass detailing, and soaring ceilings adorned with ornamental roses. These features imbue the residence with a timeless elegance, embodying the spacious, formal proportions typical of its 1890s era, while still offering versatile family-oriented living spaces.

The adjoining kitchen is equipped with quality timber cabinetry and premium appliances from Asko and La Germania, reflecting a careful balance between style and functionality. Supporting living necessities include an adjacent laundry with a separate WC and a fifth bedroom or home office, providing added flexibility to suit diverse household needs.
Outdoor living is well catered for with a sun-drenched deck and paved alfresco area that overlook a solar-heated swimming pool. These features create an ideal setting for entertaining guests or enjoying tranquil family time in an inviting, private garden environment.
Additional comforts further enhance the homes liveability, including ducted heating and reverse-cycle air conditioning in the living areas, original fireplaces, plantation shutters, a garden shed, and a double carport with roof storage.
