“It also ran as an Italian community club and a childcare centre in the ‘80s,” Ms Doolan said.
“The current owners did the stunning conversion and turned it into a three-bedroom family residence more recently,” Ms Doolan said.
Set on a 324sqm allotment, the former shopfront residence is full of character, and mindful of the property’s heritage, the current owners have done well to retain its charm. A semi-exposed brick wall in the main living area, which was once the original shopfront, offers a stylish peek into the past.
