Property description
PROPERTY SUMMARY Secluded behind a high retaining wall, this deceptively large family home offers generous proportions, plenty of living space and a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere. It sits on a corner plot, in a rather exclusive residential area, that's tucked just one street away from the fun of the seafront, Canoe Lake and gardens at Eastern Parade. Perfectly suited to family life and for those who like to entertain, it has four bedrooms, two reception rooms, which form a large front to back living space divided by bi-folding doors, high ceilings that you would hope to find preserved in a house of this age and a private feeling wraparound garden. The modernised accommodation, which provides 1977.3 sq ft of living space is arranged over two floors and comprises 20' entrance hall, cloakroom, bespoke fitted kitchen, drawing room and dining room on the ground floor, with four bedrooms, the master having an en-suite shower room and family bathroom on the first floor. Enclosed by a high retaining wall providing an ideal secure area for children to play and privacy for alfresco dining, early internal viewing of this unique family home is strongly recommended in order to appreciate both the accommodation and location on offer.
