A RARE opportunity to purchase an outstanding period home in the coveted beach end of Banyan Street, just one block from the cultural end of the CBD, has just come up. This renovated four-bedroom Victorian sandstone home is loaded with period features such as carved fireplace surrounds, wide architraves and tall ceilings, and even retains the original worn bluestone step at the end of the hallway. Modern-day additions include a master en suite, a well-equipped laundry, ample storage space throughout, and a brilliant open-plan kitchen/meals/ living area at the rear. This room features polished hardwood floors and a bank of floor-to-ceiling French doors leading to a wide, grape vine-draped back verandah. This steps down to a private, high-walled courtyard, which leads on to the double lock up garage which has access down a shared, side laneway. Vendors have purchased else where. Don't hesitate.
