Give 'em the old razzle dazzle

Introduce a bit of 1940s glamour into your life via this stunning home. Of course there's plenty on offer here apart from good looks – she's not just a pretty face – but, gosh. Those decorative ceilings and cornices? You'll find yourself gazing up at them so often you'll probably need your chiropractor on call. The art deco style doorways? Unique and gorgeous. The Jarrah floorboards underfoot are utter perfection. Plus there are picture rails, display cabinets, and wall shelving throughout the home on which you can display all your pretties. Superb, too, is the entertaining area out the back. Bifold windows were installed in 2023 to connect it with the kitchen and create a bar and servery, so now it's the place to be whether you're having dinner on an ordinary weekday, Sunday lunch with loved ones, or going all out with an evening of celebrations. There's space enough to accommodate a decent handful of your favourite folk, and the picturesque gardens and lawns set the scene beautifully with so little effort. There's even a doggy door installed in the side entry so furry family members can come and go as they please. String up a heap of fairy lights and stock the bar and you'll be ready for a summer of stellar social events. Thankfully the kitchen holds its own when it comes to catering. There's heaps of storage plus a good-sized 5 burner cooktop with rangehood, as well as a dishwasher to make cleanup easier. And once you're spent, retreat to the comfort of the formal front living area. The fireplace adds charm to the room even when the weather is warm, and the big windows let in the light and the lovely front garden outlook. With wonderful proportions, a versatile layout, and phenomenal presentation throughout, this character home is a proper showstopper.
