Timbers, big windows with garden views and a covered deck make for easy living.<\/p>\n
After 24 years embedded in this neighbourly tree-lined street, the owners of this well-maintained and much-loved period home are downsizing.

Shunning conventional design and safe neutrals, this two-storey one-of-a-kind draws on myriad styles to present a quirky personality. \u201cIt has the natural light, the airflow and the quality of build, but it\u2019s so lovely to see something different,\u201d the agent says. \u201cIt\u2019s a home that creates a buyer.\u201d Find upcycled materials, fluted and louvred windows, steel screens and railway sleepers in the 2013 award-winning design.<\/p>\n
