Built c1905, the freestanding home is set on a sunny level 613sqm approx on the edge of Centennial Park just 300m to the Royal Randwick Racecourse and 400m to the light rail. Grandly scaled interiors are rich in period detail with a fluid single-storey layout that honours the home's heritage by uniting the traditional front with a light-filled contemporary extension and a sunny child-friendly garden that's a joy throughout the seasons. A family friendly design features five bedrooms including a master suite and study or nursery, while soaring 3.4m ceilings and four marble fireplaces serve as a gracious reminder of the past.
