The home on entry opens up with a large central hallway with soaring ceilings and flows through to the stunning formal lounge room at the front of the home with a beautiful bay window that allows natural light to flood through. The dining room is large in size and perfect for family gatherings. Underneath the original carpet through the front and original parts of the home are floorboards, ready and waiting to be polished up.
