Located in one of the region's original dress-circle settings when homes had a sense of grandeur and were built to last, this two-level sanctuary is set off the main road and has some classy updates throughout its layout while staying sympathetic to its era. Spacious interiors showcase two bedrooms, open plan living, a bathroom and island kitchen on the ground floor, and three bedrooms, a luxuriously renovated bathroom, huge retreat and office upstairs. A crowning feature is the circular-edge on the top floor balcony and its verdant green vista, and not to be outdone, the property's rear includes a second balcony, open air terrace, and merges softly with lush bushland to promote privacy.
