An 1883 bay-and-gable Victorian semi with a large coach house.

This carefully restored three-storey home has a number of 1883-appropriate touches, including vintage light fixtures, cornice mouldings and a wrought iron gate. The current owners, a family, are moving out of the city.

Here’s the house’s exterior:

Big selling point

The rooftop terrace has excellent city views, and it’s pretty private: there’s a laneway on one side.
