A bold elevated statement from the road includes a Federation-style façade with a striking bull-nose verandah that keeps the property’s nostalgia of yesteryear firmly intact while also enjoying pleasant river glimpses and overlooking a securely-gated front yard in the process. Inside, a classic central passage is complemented by stunning leadlight entry features before revealing a spacious traditional formal lounge and dining room where soaring high decorative ceilings, feature cornices, skirting boards and trimmings and solid Jarrah timber floorboards warmly welcome you with the utmost of elegance.
