Blending timeless old-world charm with modern comfort, it creates a home that feels both welcoming and full of opportunity. Whether you're seeking a warm family sanctuary or a strategic investment with development appeal, this property delivers on both fronts. Located within the High Density Residential Zone (HRZ), the site offers outstanding appeal for developers, investors, and land bankers alike.

The well-appointed kitchen connects seamlessly with open-plan dining and living areas, creating effortless functionality for modern lifestyles. From here, doors open onto a generous deck - ideal for entertaining guests or enjoying relaxed summer evenings. Accommodation is flexible and thoughtfully designed, featuring three generous bedrooms, with a versatile sunroom accessed off two bedrooms, including the master bedroom. This additional space is perfectly suited as a nursery, home office, dressing room, or reading nook, adapting easily to changing lifestyle needs while creating a private and connected extension of the sleeping quarters. A north-facing orientation ensures abundant natural light throughout the day, while established gardens and mature trees create a peaceful and private outdoor sanctuary. Completing the offering is a productive vegetable garden, secure lock-up garage, and additional off-street parking for everyday convenience.
