Accessorised with fashionable flair against a backdrop of yesterday's timeless design, this two bedroom, 1.5 bathroom front home might just be Southland's best buy. A minute’s walk to the doors of David Jones, this late-period beauty is styled up with a streamlined Fisher and Paykel appliance kitchen with marbleised Caesarstone benchtops, an artisan-tiled designer bathroom with stone-topped floating vanity, and a well-designed integrated laundry/powder room with bespoke marble and timber finishes. Starring gracious original detail including decoratively-corniced ceilings, pretty picture-rails and rich red hardwood floors, the home has eye-catching etched-glass doors enclosing separate lounge and dining rooms... and tall walls of windows lighting up the open-plan kitchen-sunroom. With sculptural ceiling fans and ducted heating providing comfort for today and scope to reinstate vintage brick-mantled fireplaces tomorrow, this centrally-heated home has land to enjoy for a lifetime; with a picket-fenced garden with dedicated carspace from the streetfront, and wraparound decking and broad lawns in the fully-secured rose-draped rear. Perfectly situated to enjoy a quiet life and Southland’s retail therapy lifestyle, this charming front home is within a couple of blocks of the shopping centre, 150m to the secret shortcut to William Fry Reserve, a dash across the parklands to Southland’s station, and within a pleasant evening’s stroll of Highett’s hospitality strip.
