Heritage listed and built circa 1914, it carries more than a century of history seamlessly woven into contemporary family living. Positioned on a 1,444sqm north-east facing allotment, the home is defined by its terracotta-tiled roof, decorative fretwork and sweeping verandahs that embody timeless character. Generous proportions are evident throughout, with original VJ panelling and stained-glass windows enriching elegant interiors.
