Original details worth retaining carry through the home, from the leadlight detail of the front door to the adornments of the formal lounge, the first of two living spaces Note timber cornice detail and high ceilings, and a gorgeous tiled original fireplace and timber mantle. The formal dining sits between the  kitchen and lounge, moving from the floating floors onto slate that carries through to the rear family room. The kitchen is well-maintained, with plenty of storage, a dishwasher, and a wine cellar below a timber hatch for storing your choicest treasures. 

Both bedrooms are fitted with built-in robes and enjoy high ceilings, while the bathroom is generous in scale and includes a classic claw foot bath, walk-in shower and laundry facilities.
