This freestanding home on 265sqm has been transformed into a light and airy family home. The home has contemporary design while retaining many of its original features. Within an easy stroll to Darling Street cafes and restaurants, the home is also close to schools and public transport, including the ferry.

The home has two bedrooms on the ground floor. Upstairs, a parents' retreat has ample storage and a chic ensuite. The property faces north, and is drenched in sunlight. High ceilings provide excellent natural ventilation, aided by ceiling fans.

Original features include fireplaces, French doors, and timber floors. Modern touches in the home are underfloor heating, an alarm, and stainless-steel appliances.

The property is scheduled to go to auction on 19 December, and comes with a price guide of more than $1.7 million.
