Nestled along the waterfront of Flinders Parade in Sandgate, 'The Ripples' cottage, originally constructed in the early 1900s, has undergone an impressive transformation that seamlessly blends its historic charm with contemporary luxury. Meticulous attention to detail and high-end finishes have breathed new life into this historical gem, presenting it as the ideal dream home for a family's next chapter.
