About this property
Welcome to this sensitively remodelled home designed in the English Art & Crafts style by Architect Bernard Johns in 1935.The setting this home occupies is storybook enchanting with its tree lined driveway and privacy. Both 17 & 19 Benares Street are being sold together. This creates the privacy and space the house and its owners enjoy. The site at 19 can be built on as required. The elevated siting of the house gives it great light, sun and views over the city and harbour.
There's a choice of two outdoor living spaces, French doors take you to a sheltered courtyard to the west and there's a patio to the east. The two living spaces work brilliantly for family life. Character features including timber floors, wood panelling, panel doors and hardware, give it warmth.
