Located within the Embassy Belt the residence also sits behind the Prime Ministers Lodge. The substantial five-bedroom home is spacious, sunny and light with well-proportioned rooms ideal for a family of all sizes. The home is ready to move straight in to but also provides potential to make further enhancements and become someone's dream home in amongst beautifully park-like manicured gardens.
The home has a stylish charm and regal presence of its own. Tasteful elegant decor is balanced superbly with a series of modern touches. A combination of neutral and bold colour palettes together with upgraded key areas provides a family home with comfort and personality but still sympathises with the period of the home.
