Graced with a porte cochere entrance on Normanby Street via a semi-circular bluestone driveway, a grand marble entry is further enhanced by a centrepiece courtyard providing a spectacular sunlit aspect. Discover defined zoning with formal lounge and dining rooms flowing through to a spacious open-plan living and dining area neatly separated by a luxe kitchen. This recently renovated, stone-finished showpiece includes a high-end 900mm Miele oven/cooktop, dishwasher, integrated microwave and a pair of waterfall-edged breakfast bars.

Designed around an imposing internal courtyard sharing multiple access points, step outside into a space drenched in natural light, complemented by a soothing water feature and a manicured garden.  Perfect for an intimate breakfast or memorable entertaining on a grand scale, enjoy a charmed life of low-maintenance leisure.
