The current owners have conducted significant works to take the charming cottage home and bring it into the 21st Century to meet today's family needs.

Using careful thought in the redesign to ensure the home flows and is functional for a variety of family dynamics resulting in a delightful floor plan that creates functional living spaces, separation and practicality. The renovation exhibits detailed craftsmanship whilst retaining its original elements of timber floors, VJ walls and ceilings, sash windows and front verandah. Contemporary tones of modern flourishes, especially in the bathrooms and kitchen, help highlight the modernity and luxury of the redesign.
