This sumptuous, sunny family home just keeps on giving. Generous rooms abound across the 412m2 (approx) of floor space, with four living spaces, seven bedrooms and six bathrooms on offer. Flexibility is key with the home providing an option to configure it as a five bedroom home alongside two bedroom potential granny. The potential ‘granny’ features a spacious living area with kitchenette and external access, along with two bedrooms and shared bathroom, all of which could work equally well for a home business.

There are two further living spaces on the ground floor, with a formal lounge complemented by the capacious open-plan living, dining and kitchen. This in turn flows through bi-fold doors to a sunny, partially covered patio and landscaped, low-maintenance garden – allowing you to bring the outside in, even on wet days. The feature-rich kitchen is surely the hub of a busy family home and will thrill home chefs and entertainers alike. Conceived as a ‘kitchen suite’ there is an abundance of storage and bench space with a big butler’s kitchen and separate pantry accompanying the family kitchen with its statement stone waterfall-edge island bench and high end European appliances. A separate laundry provides access to the rear of the home, here too. The quality of the construction is evident throughout the downstairs, with wide-plank oak flooring, deep skirting and corniced ceilings. Accommodation upstairs is provided by four spacious rooms, all featuring their own fully-tiled ensuite bathroom and quality Hansgrohe tapware. The master suite is an exceptional space, with one of the largest walk-in robes we have seen. There is room here for ALL the shoes. An open-plan living room serves the upper level and offers sea views, perfect to unwind and relax. An additional bedroom downstairs is currently configured as a home office.

Well located in this thriving, family friendly suburb, there is lots to discover here.
