This hidden treasure is on 3,162.8 sq.m. of beautiful mature cold climate gardens with nearly 100 year old deciduous trees. A grand old lady, circa 1922, this property offers a relaxed and gentrified lifestyle of a bygone era when time moved at a slower pace.

The huge 3m wide bullnose verandah with sandstone corners entices you to enter this grand home that, under its current layout, boasts 4 generously proportioned living rooms plus a huge eat-in kitchen, delightful sunroom overlooking the garden, 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Many rooms open to wide verandahs on three sides. The home is the original floorplan which is versatile and suits the current needs of a contemporary family.

The unique European precast concrete post and panel wall system was imported by the Friend Family who were hardware merchants and built the home originally as a holiday house for their family of 8 boys and 1 girl (Dorothy Friend). There are 10ft. decorative plaster ceilings with flannel flowers and lyre birds, original polished hardwood floors, five working fireplaces (one with Jetmaster fitted), ducted gas fired central heating, and a 1200mm wide Falcon stove.
