Classic elegance meets contemporary comfort in this freestanding family home on a sprawling 523sqm approx dual access block. Built in the early 1900s as an outstanding example of the Arts & Crafts movement, the two-storey home's gabled roofline and shingled facade make a fine addition to the streetscape in a leafy family friendly pocket just 450m to the train station and iconic White Cockatoo Hotel. A tasteful renovation fusing traditional charm with family functionality has created a beautiful home with an upper-level parents' retreat, a choice of living areas and idyllic child-friendly garden with rear lane access to a lock-up garage. Part of the North Petersham Conservation Area, 'Loretto' is just around the corner from Fort Street High School and 650m to Petersham Park and the Fanny Durack open-air pool.
