Roslyn Terrace is one of Stanley Bay's elegant avenues, a two-minute stroll from the Calliope Road Cafe for morning coffee and just a 10-minute walk from Devonport's ferry, shops, bars and restaurants, with a choice of wonderful primary schools close by. It's a neighbourhood fully immersed in the sought-after heritage suburb, yet at home, you'll enjoy nothing but peace and privacy.

The very best in function, flow and finish are showcased inside, with beautifully appointed spaces and real designer flair. Heritage elements have been retained and complemented with contemporary fittings and appliances, with touches of tonal colour bringing a stylish twist to the classic original detailing.

Skylights illuminate the open-plan living, dining and chef's kitchen from above, and the wall of bifolds at the rear creates a connection with the outdoor area, while eco-friendly solar panels enable relaxed use of winter heating and summer cooling. A louvered canopy above the alfresco deck makes it perfect for all-season entertaining, while a west-facing aspect floods the fully-fenced lawn with sun and mature hedges ensure a sense of privacy.

This is a level up from a typical villa renovation and will appeal to those with a passion for interiors as well as character homes.
