Good locations often create long ownership, and this home is a wonderful example. Held by the same family for 47 years, this double-fronted Victorian has been thoughtfully adapted over time, evolving without losing the qualities that made it worth staying for. Today, generous family spaces, period character and a north-facing garden with a pool and spa sit comfortably alongside one another. The open plan kitchen, dining and living area is where the home changes gear. A northern aspect keeps the space bright throughout the day, while views across the garden and pool strengthen its connection to the outdoors. The timber kitchen sits comfortably within the space, offering quality appliances and generous storage while handling the routines of family life as effortlessly as a house full of guests.
The original home remains an important part of the experience. A wide central hallway, high ceilings and retained period detail lead to three generous bedrooms, a stylish bathroom, a formal living room with an open fireplace and a separate dining room with a gas log fire. These rooms still have a distinct sense of purpose, offering quieter spaces that sit comfortably alongside the openness of the extension. Upstairs, a sitting room and study alcove provide a change of pace, accompanied by two further bedrooms, including a main bedroom with city views and an ensuite featuring a freestanding bath and walk-in shower. Elsewhere, two studio spaces, undercover off-street parking and solar panels add further practicality.

Perhaps it's no surprise this home has been held by the same family for so long. High Street's cafés, restaurants and boutiques, city-bound trams and trains, local schools and nearby parks are all within walking distance, making it a neighbourhood that has long appealed to families.
