Auction Location: On Location Auction - 18 Clara Street, Mayfield East. This beautifully renovated home has all the charming features characteristic of its original era, but it has been updated in a truly gorgeous modern style. If you love the romance of a clawfoot bath but the modern look of a monochrome black and white colour scheme this home is for you. If you love the classic style of a pedestal sink and antique tapware in the bathroom but a huge, modern stone island in the kitchen, you have found your perfect match. This dreamy 3 bedroom home also boasts many new features which give a nod to the past but have been modernized and are right on trend again – shaker style cabinetry throughout, the always popular white plantation shutters and striking Moroccan and over-sized subway tiles. This property truly is a stunning blend of the old and the new. From the moment you see this sweet home from the street you will fall in love. The gable set feature at the front and the long timber porch will be sure to catch your eye. You will adore sitting on the front verandah of this traditional gun-barrel style home catching the morning sun as you sip your coffee and enjoy the serenity of your wide, quiet street. While away the hours with friends around the huge eat-in kitchen island in the open plan kitchen/dining/living space.
