Appraisal
This elegantly proportioned house forms half of an historic pair which overlooks the Owenboy River. Located at the west end of Crosshaven, this pair is part of a group of fine late nineteenth century houses which were built in the area. The timber sliding sash windows, canted bay and carved timber bargeboards are among the original features which add to the pair's character and charm.
