The expansive return-style verandah introduces the home and the generous hallway flows into large, well-proportioned rooms with soaring ceilings. The front lounge features a dramatic open fireplace with black mantel; the first bedroom with original timber flooring and fireplace with ornamental mantel & mirror also has access to the carport; the formal dining room with door opening onto the verandah also boasts a decorative fireplace.
