With a high gable, block front and lacework, this Edwardian residence, located close to Johnston Street and public transport, has immediate street appeal. A thoughtful renovation to maximise light and space has enhanced an array of period detail, including Baltic pine floors and timberwork, plaster detail and picture rails.
A wide hallway surmounted by a fretwork arch leads to two double bedrooms, with built-in wardrobes. Both have access to a cleverly designed bathroom at the side, fitted in period style, and including a laundry and access to a side light court. A door at the end of the hall leads into the expansive living area, with timber-mantelled open fireplace and quality cabinetry. Opening from the living room is a pleasant third bedroom/study with adjoining powder room and timber-framed French doors to a reading porch and the courtyard. The kitchen and dining area, partly open to the living room, is bright and airy; it retains the original 'Lux' cast iron stove and chimney recess. Timber-framed glazing frames the view into the well-landscaped L-shaped courtyard with its attractive combination of paving and timber decking.
