This hidden family treasure is tucked away in one of the area’s most desirable streets lined with period homes. The captivating Edwardian beauty offers a perfect blend of vintage charm and modern convenience, all set in a peaceful cul-de-sac with minimal through traffic.

At the rear is yet another living room with open fireplace, a dining area, and a streamlined kitchen, where a unique bay window mirrors the distinctive window at the front, creating a sense of aesthetic symmetry and connection.

The outdoor sanctuary features an al fresco patio with vine-entwined pergola adding a romantic touch.
Upstairs, a clever extension adds even more room to move. Two additional bedrooms, each with built-in robes, and a living area make this level ideal for extended family or guests. This floor also includes sky windows that fill the space with natural light and fresh air, along with a sleek bathroom with a vanity, toilet and large shower.
