Beyond its stately facade, a beautifully restored hallway immediately sets the tone, meticulously refurbished to honour its Federation origins and complemented by luxurious Axminster Crown Emerald carpet.
This refined finish flows seamlessly up the grand staircase and into both the master bedroom and a substantial formal dining room, reinforcing a sense of cohesion and understated elegance.
Accommodation is generous and flexible, with four well-proportioned bedrooms, one currently used as a "Hobby Room" and each reflecting the home's period charm.
Modern comforts have been carefully integrated, including hydronic heating, reverse cycle air conditioning, double glazing, insulation, 5kw solar panels, and solar hot water with electric backup, delivering efficiency without compromising the home's integrity.
A refined yet practical layout ensuring the property feels both liveable and authentic, honouring its history without overstating it.
