The lifestyle you love

You won't even reach 20 when counting the steps to Jervois Road from this uber-charming four bedroom 1940s weatherboard classic.

Intelligently configured to make the most of its footprint, it offers family flexi-living options galore, along with a welcoming sense of light and openness that combines fabulous function and liveable style.

You will love hosting gatherings in the generous living room - simply close off the stacked doors for a more formal social space, or enjoy cosy family moments throughout the cooler months. Connecting from here is the spacious dining and kitchen zone, where everything you need is at hand - including a gas hob and massive oven for tossing together a quick feast on busy weekday nights. Alternately, picture yourself cooking up a storm during cocktail hour as friends congregate, chat and laugh.

There are also serious al fresco dining options here. Lounge in the pretty, private and fully fenced garden with citrus tree, deck seating and outdoor wine fridge.

Four bedrooms mean you can utilise one for a second living room or spacious work from home office if desired. The master is nicely appointed with a walk-in robe and en suite, whilst the family bathroom comes with a bath and laundry attached that can be closed off. A child's room off the wide hallway is super cute with ladder leading to a loft bed. Comfort is assured thanks to central gas heating throughout, plus there are two coveted off street parks.

This home simply radiates light, warmth and a stylish welcoming vibe, all just a stone's throw from one of the city's most popular dining and shopping meccas and within easy reach of in zone Ponsonby Primary and Intermediate, the CBD, beaches and Ponsonby.
