Within a few minutes’ walk of shops, transport and The Strand foreshore area, the modest timber exterior of this period residence belies its impressive renovation and extension. Entry into the hallway reveals a crisp white colour palette coupled with honey-toned timber floorboards. At hall’s end. the family-meals area has a vaulted ceiling that draws the eye upward and the abundance of natural light makes it a bright, airy place to read a novel or three. The kitchen has stainless-steel double wall oven, dishwasher, 900mm cooktop and rangehood; polished stone benchtops elevate it further. Of the four bedrooms, two have built-in wardrobes; the main has a walk-in wardrobe and en suite. The separate lounge room has an original cast-iron fireplace with timber surround, the perfect place to hibernate during winter; it has glass double doors opening onto a paved outdoor area. And there’s a decked alfresco dining area at the back.
