Framed by original plantings of weeping grevillea trees in one of Alderley's exclusive, quiet pockets, and embracing the timeless appeal of its post-war features, this charming, much-loved family home invites the imagination to both reflect and roam with its potential. The generous, 612sqm of land, with its solid, brick and timber clad 1952 build, has, until recently, been tightly held within the original family for decades.
