Daphne ~ This Period Prize Awaits Your Modern Touch

There are homes that are so loved and valued they are tightly held, like 'Daphne', a gorgeous period prize that's now on offer for the first time in over 30 years.<br/><br/>You will no doubt fall too for the home's hallmark charm and character found in the 3m ornate ceilings, elegant leadlight windows, and beautiful hand-crafted timber cabinetry. Originally a two-bedroom home with formal lounge and dining rooms plus a sunroom, kitchen and bathroom, a previous extension has created a spacious family room and third bedroom along with a self-contained one-bedroom granny flat. Although you could move in today without a worry in the world, it's easy to see the inspiration for a 21st century renovation to open the floorplan, maybe add a pool and garage, or like the near neighbours, extend up with a Cape Cod style addition, (STCA).<br/><br/>This is a truly premier lifestyle location. Cafe precincts such as Beaumont Street, Marketown, The Junction and Darby Street are all a walk, cycle or short drive away - depending on your mood. While continuing up Parkway Avenue leads you straight to beautiful Bar Beach.
