Open the Door to a Bluestone Return Verandah Villa with Room for Every Age and Stage

Wrapped in a return verandah and rich in the bluestone, lofty ceilings and decorative flourishes that make a villa feel like a lifelong proposition, this 1912 Federation home has spent 45 years in the same hands, evolving to bring at least four bedrooms, a garden-facing study and a versatile attic retreat to its quiet, tree-lined Parkside setting. With a formal lounge to disappear into and an ensuite and dressing room or retreat adjoining the front bedroom, time to yourself is well accounted for. The north-facing extension makes an equally generous gesture to time together, pairing parquetry floors with an updated timber kitchen connected by a servery. Add covered entertaining amongst brick paving, climbing greenery and easy-care gardens, and you've found the home where everyone gathers, year after year. Here's to the next 45.
