Set within a coveted dress circle enclave, this distinctive home enjoys a peaceful position set back from the main road. Originally designed by local architect Raiford Gardiner in the early 1970s the home has since been further transformed through meticulous enhancements by the current owners.

Blending comfort, character, and practicality, the home’s flexible two-level layout will particularly appeal to downsizers, professional couples, or families with older children seeking space and style without compromise. At its heart, a cleverly designed kitchen connects seamlessly with the open-plan dining and intimate living areas, each offering a sense of warmth and connection.

The generous master suite on the ground floor includes a walk-in wardrobe and luxurious en-suite. Off this space is a versatile office or guest room with its own external access. A second bedroom plus updated family bathroom is also found on this level. The first level offers a third bedroom with additional living area/landing space which adds further versatility for guests, hobbies, or quiet relaxation.

Throughout, the home celebrates architectural charm with vaulted ceilings, bespoke lighting, window seating, and thoughtful design details that add texture and personality. Ample storage and a separate scullery complement everyday practicality, while the impressive 106 sq m of garaging offers exceptional space for car enthusiasts or creative pursuits.

The outdoor verandah, complete with built-in fireplace, sets the scene for long, leisurely lunches overlooking the picturesque gardens—an inviting space to entertain or simply unwind.

An architecturally significant home in a tightly held and highly regarded location, this is a property that combines privacy, character, and effortless living for those ready to enjoy the next chapter in style.
