Straight out of the pages of a home magazine, this gorgeous property celebrates its heritage, artfully fusing period features with modern-colonial updates.

Light bounces off the fresh white palette and polished floorboards, up to the soaring ceilings. The home is ideally set out with bedrooms at the front and open-plan living at the rear. An elegant lounge room complete with fireplace flows onto a dining area and new kitchen. Bi-fold windows create a servery for the covered entertainment area, which leads up to a viewing platform amid natural sandstone, a pond and lush greenery.

French doors off the bedrooms link to a sunroom and front deck, the easterly orientation an ideal setting for morning coffee in the sunshine, taking in district views to Botany Bay.

Banksia Station and shops are footsteps away from this tranquil location, while it's a short drive to the beach, inner west and CBD.
