Throughout the home, extensive use of timber, including spotted gum solid wood flooring and decks, creates an inviting atmosphere.

A modern extension adds further functionality with three new bathrooms and a kitchen, complementing the four bedrooms and loft/mezzanine, all featuring built-in wardrobes and ample storage space. Notable features include a spacious master bedroom with a Jetmaster open fireplace, walk-in robe, ensuite and double doors leading to the front deck, plus a second living/guest bedroom with ensuite and garden access.

Outdoor amenities abound, including expansive decks, a lush rear garden with a timer sprinkler system, an inground swimming pool with solar heating, and a bespoke stone firepit. Additional highlights include a vegetable garden, drive-through front garage and electric gate leading to an enormous rear garage and work shed, which could be transformed into a home gym or teenager's retreat.
