This expansive and unique light filled home has been loved and enjoyed by the current family for over 20 years with many happy memories being created. With bursts of colour and a great vibe this five-bedroom residence with two kitchens and two bathrooms offers flexibility for families, those wanting to work from home or if you are looking to accommodate relatives or friends.

We move from the main residence through to the superb modern self-contained two-bedroom addition with its double glazed windows, timber work, warmth, wonderful use of colour, air flow and overall feel providing an exceptional place to enjoy. The open plan kitchen, living and dining area is an absolute delight, here you can just simply relax and enjoy the pleasant environment. The superb kitchen has an abundance of storage, a walk-in pantry, pyrolytic oven, induction cooktop, dishwasher and Schweigen rangehood. The bathroom has a fresh Icelandic feel and both of the lovely large bedrooms have excellent built-in robes with access to the outdoors, these two rooms are connected offering fabulous versatility.

Outdoors offers a lovely private place to relax with deck areas and leafy established gardens that include camellias, roses, veggie patches, bulbs and a mixture of fruit trees that include tangelos, nectarine, lemon and a fledgling pomegranate maybe about to fruit. A huge double garage with storage space completes the picture.
