Serenely positioned within a whisper-quiet tree-lined pocket abutting the acclaimed College Precinct, this irresistibly beautiful, solid brick c1890 Victorian residence's expansive and flexible dimensions cater impeccably to relaxed family living, working from home and indoor-outdoor entertaining.

The elevated garden frontage and beautiful façade create an unforgettable first impression, matched inside by the 12 ft decorative ceilings, leadlight windows and resurfaced hardwood floors in the wide central hall. The secure vestibule reveals grand proportions, with a formal living room beneath artisan ceilings, an adjoining sitting room, and a generously fitted home office joined by a series of bi-fold doors.

Sun-drenched and spacious, the open-plan living and dining room delivers the wow factor, bringing modern elements and brilliant scale to an idyllic family floor plan. Oversized picture windows with leafy outlooks flank a gas fireplace, whilst the sleek, gourmet kitchen is appointed to impress, with AEG cooking appliances, a Bosch dishwasher and a bi-fold servery to the alfresco bar.
