This Art Deco treasure exemplifies the architecture of the time expressing perfectly a range of classic geometric and linear elements. Nestled on a popular tree lined street the elevated stucco dwelling has been substantially renovated to a very high standard. Character-loving couples, stylish singles, and families who value an architectural legacy will be attracted to all this property has to offer.

Open plan living and dining areas are flooded with natural light and the front room follows the bay front profile evoking a sense of curvaceous generosity. The interior décor is complemented by retained vintage elements from the plaster cornice detailing to decorative leadlight glazing while a modern electric fireplace with plaster mantle is prominently framed by bay casement windows. Add abundant sun and a heat pump to the mix and your winter cosiness is assured. The crisp white and blond timber minimalist kitchen celebrates simple lines with efficient stainless-steel appliances amidst Caesarstone topped island and glass mosaic wall. A separate laundry sits alongside the back door accessing rear patio and carport zone to swiftly transfer groceries from boot to bench. Three bedrooms could configure as two and an office if desired with main bedroom well-endowed with storage echoing the architectural curve. Emerald-green brick tiles stack to wainscotting creating a striking element in all-in-one bathroom with freestanding tub, glass shower and on-trend vessel basin. 

The street facing home basks in sunny northern orientation where easy flow through French doors steps down to an alfresco terrace, landscaped gardens, and lawns. In zone for Churchill Park School and Glendowie College the property sits close to St Heliers shops, Churchill Park, and eastern beaches with bus stop just up the road.
