A fairytale-like facade greets you as you arrive at the home at 19 McKinlay Street. 

The 1947 architecture stands proud amidst manicured hedges, perfectly potted trees and walls of green so primly kept you’ll start dialling the bank before you even set foot through the door.

Things only get better on the inside when you realise the home’s renovation was so thoughtful it won the 2017 Master Builders Association award for remodelling. 

Across an enormous 272 square metres of living, you’ll find multiple living areas, five bedrooms and a contemporary kitchen designed to accommodate large families. 

The ceilings stand tall at almost three metres high, which delivers a feeling of grandeur without being too over the top. 

Sprawling from the open-plan living and dining, through cedar framed bifold doors, is a picturesque merbau timber deck. In any home, this would be a wow factor, but in this particular home, they’re surrounded by mature gardens, which makes this area a complete stand out. 

A small light-filled courtyard sits just off the guest bedroom, providing ample space to relax.

Price guide: Circa $2 million
