Rich in style and charm, Carrington Cottage is a wonderfully restored, 1920s four-bedroom home offering the perfect mix of old and new.
Think timber floors, wainscoting and dado rails to the walls, and all beautifully updated in gleaming white throughout, with a cosy wood fireplace topped by an original timber mantelpiece and tiled surrounds in the living area.
The kitchen's top-notch fixtures and fittings still fit perfectly with the home's traditional surrounds and the beauty continues in the bathroom with its ceramic patterned feature tiles and deep clawfoot bathtub.
Completing this special home are front and rear decks and a backyard pool.
