A word from the owner...

"I have loved this property with all my heart for 25 years! The secluded, south facing garden with stunning eucalyptus centrepiece has entertained many. The Prince Arthur is buzzy and welcoming, Wilton Way and Violet's serve the best coffee and Broadway Market is always joyful. There is a genuine community here and many of my neighbours have become friends."
