Complementing the updated interiors, the renovated bathroom offers a calming contemporary retreat with refined fixtures and finishes that sit comfortably alongside the home's rich character, completing this attractive package. At the rear, a private courtyard framed by classic red brick paving creates a peaceful low-maintenance outdoor setting with valuable rear laneway access ideal for alfresco dining, entertaining, quiet relaxation, or future enhancement opportunities (STCA).
