Echoing the home's heritage, this lower-level has been thoughtfully appointed with polished timber floorboards, sash windows and traditional-profile timber doors. 

The ultimate teenagers' retreat, the living room on this level flows out to its own timber balcony; a fantastic additional entertaining space with its own access down to the sizable backyard with its private lawn and inground swimming pool.
