Suitably located on a wide leafy cul de sac within walking distance of loads of amenities, this full sized freehold 668 sqm (MOL) property is zoned Mixed Housing Suburban. Attractive features define a comfortable character home with pedigree harking to the distinctive architecture typical of the 1920s.

Flush sill bifolds stack right back allowing guests to keep mingling on a huge west facing wraparound deck bordering manicured and graciously landscaped grounds. The secluded and tiered garden layout lends itself to options for an in ground pool at the far end.
