COMING up to its 100th birthday, this home is a treat for the sights and senses, and dare to step through the front door and you will find it has been lovingly restored.

COMING up to its 100th birthday, this home is a treat for the sights and senses, and dare to step through the front door and you will find it has been lovingly restored.

Located in the Bathurst CBD at 202 Keppel Street, this home was built in the 1920s and over the years has played host to a number of families.

Current owners Arthur and Kathy ONeil have lived in the property since 2005, and say it didnt always look this picture perfect.

Time had worn away some of this splendour of the house, and when the ONeils moved in, they set about undertaking an extensive renovation.

We had scaffolding in the lounge room for well over two years, Mr ONeil said.

We tried to renovate it to look a little bit more modern.

Walk past the striking, low-maintenance garden, step through the front door and you will enter the propertys first living area.

Flooded with natural light, and shielded from traffic noise thanks to double-glazed windows, the room is Mrs ONeil favourite light and airy with a modern twist.
