Plus a gas fire pit on the terrace to enjoy on cooler evenings. This home harmoniously blends classic architecture (both inside and out) with contemporary amenities. Enjoy the original restored radiators for character, alongside modern air conditioning on the top three storeys and efficient radiant heat from a new gas-fired boiler.From the fully restored front porch and balcony crafted with cedar and ipe wood to the inline parking accommodating up to three vehicles with a carport, every detail has been considered.With five generously sized bedrooms and three baths, there is plenty of room for the entire family to live and thrive.This is a unique opportunity to own a stunning home that offers both historic charm and modern convenience in the heart of Sydenham Ward.
