Maintained by the same family for 100 years, this beautiful period home has been carefully maintained and includes so many of its original features. Built on a 632 m2 parcel, this home retains the original external boards, and iron roof for traditional street appeal, but adds modern updates such as new gutters connected to rainwater tanks to ensure the gardens remain green.

Upon entry, the 12 feet high, timber lined ceilings immediately catch the eye. Original archways with cedar trims, wide skirting boards, original cedar doors, door hardware and hand painted trims on the original wall lining boards add further charm. The three large bedrooms continue the period theme and retain the original linings, trims, and doors. However, the standout of the home is no doubt the living room which keeps the original brick fireplace and timber mantle.

The kitchen and bathroom are both lined in pine VJ boards and add character to the home. Recycled hardwood from an old danceflooris used on the kitchen counter and is sealed in a high gloss estapol which highlights the stained-glass window. Adding functionality to the character is split system air-conditioning to keep the home comfortable year-round.
