This light filled, contemporary home is nestled at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, on a generous block of approximately 825 m2, only a stroll to a light rail stop, Gang Gang caf and the Dickson hub.

Total renovation and an architect designed extension have delivered a stylish home with generous, light filled, open plan formal and casual living areas, with full length windows and sliding doors maximising the north aspect, a luxurious master suite and a high level of sustainability.

The appealing, understated faade features new double glazed windows and a Colorbond roof.

Sunlight pours in over the cooler months, and there is a gas heater and ducted evaporative cooling. Double glazing throughout the home maintains comfort.

The impressive kitchen features a large area of benchtop and an island with breakfast bar, a vibrant splashback, gas cooktop, oven, dishwasher and plenty of storage in a pantry and soft close joinery.
