What appears as a quaint Victorian cottage in a tree-lined street is loaded with designer By George  inclusions to suit its South of Johnston precinct. “It’s a cracker and shows its architectural pedigree throughout,” the agent says. The bluestone floors of the meals/living room flow past retractable glass doors to a walled courtyard. A first-floor balconied living room, atrium beside the bathroom and limestone/Smeg kitchen are highlights.
