Stepping inside, the home captures the charm of yesteryear with polished hardwood floors and ornate cornices, while also offering thoughtful modern updates. Natural light fills the interiors, with open-plan living and dining flowing seamlessly into the contemporary kitchen, complete with stone benchtops, quality appliances, and abundant storage.

Here you can entertain friends, host family gatherings, or simply relax in complete privacy while enjoying the leafy, elevated outlook.

The outdoors are just as impressive. Backing directly onto Fish Creek, the expansive backyard creates a safe and private haven for children and pets to explore, while the sparkling pool offers endless enjoyment during summer and a perfect backdrop for year-round entertaining. Elevated from the street and surrounded by established greenery, the block provides a sense of privacy and tranquillity that is rarely found this close to the city.

Practical features ensure comfort and ease of living, including hardwood floors throughout the upper level, security screen entry, a 9.84kW solar system, separate laundry room, and a bonus compact shed or studio complete with power and air conditioning – ideal as a creative space, home gym, or private office.
