One look at this home and you know it's something special, and it's not just its setting in one of Drummoyne's best-loved neighbourhoods that sets it apart. Paying homage to its c1920 heritage, a thoughtful and measured redesign of the double-fronted beauty sees original character and contemporary additions celebrated in equal measure, with a strong focus on light, liveability and creating a true forever home. Opening to a lush, established garden bathed in northerly sunshine, the five-bedroom residence offers a wonderful sense of space and flexibility, with a choice of generous living areas ideal for modern family life. Soaring vaulted ceilings on the upper level add a dramatic architectural layer while a playful sense of whimsy softens the home's refined design. Showcased in Home Beautiful and featured on Better Homes & Gardens following its 2002 reinvention, this is a home of enduring style just one street back from Brett Park and a 500m stroll to the Bay Run, Drummoyne Swimming Centre and walking distance to Birkenhead Point, local schools and churches.
