It is a "lovingly-restored and immaculately-presented Federation beauty," says listing agent Zeb Alaia. "This character-filled property is sure to surpass your expectations with many original features including high ceilings throughout."

A huge main bedroom suite has a resort-style designer en-suite, and three oversized bedrooms all have original marble, ornate fireplaces. There is also a large open study which could easily be used as the fifth bedroom or guest room, and in every room you'll stay warm with underfloor gas heating throughout along with reverse-cycle air-conditioning.

The designer bathroom was recently renovated, and the flexible floor plan allows you to configure several living areas. For entertaining, bi-fold doors open the back area further to a porch and an alfresco area with a fully-fenced in-ground pool alongside.

The front features a lovely cottage garden, plus you also get a double garage and an additional large shed, as well as extensive storage throughout.
