Rich History. Bright Future.

Fast approaching her 100th birthday, this timeless "English Rose" exudes all the grace and charm you would expect from a traditional character residence. However, look a little closer and you'll discover her traditional exterior belies a heart that is pure 21st century. Comprehensively and lovingly restored, our owners' passion for exceptional craftsmanship is evident throughout.

Enhancements include a brand new roof, painting inside and out, extensive double glazing, insulation, new wiring and replumbed. Our clients have worked tirelessly to ensure all improvements are sympathetic to the home's spirit and their dedication has been rewarded.

Entertainers will adore the ample living spaces, while families will appreciate updated kitchen and bathrooms, generous bedrooms and plentiful storage. A brand new self-contained sleepout, complete with kitchenette, provides options for teenagers, extended family or even extra income.

Encompassing a 2,022m2 tract of established private gardens (in two lots), subdivision may be a future consideration, or simply luxuriate in the space and privacy afforded by the immaculately kept grounds which include vegetable gardens, fruit trees and a lily pond complete with goldfish!

With Opawa Primary School your near neighbour, the morning school run couldn't be easier and zoning for Cashmere High School is a further bonus. Opawa Kindergarten, St Marks School and Rudolf Steiner School are all within easy walking distance.

After 42 years, our owners have made the difficult decision to downsize, so relinquish the guardianship of this city treasure to another lucky family. Property ID: #CR33478
