Last Listing description (February 2024)

Refreshingly different, this all on one level living residence, offers a mezzanine twist, that is as architecturally interesting, as it is aesthetically pleasing, a wonderful little extra, you wouldn't be expecting.

Laid out over an easy care, pretty level block of land, directly opposite a wildlife habitat corridor and open parkland, which isn't far off completion, it's perfect for kids and grandkids to play and explore.

On a corner site, both outlooks are to nature, not houses, with extra parking for a camper on one side and generous double garaging on the other.

A beautifully wide frontage, shows off the generous size block, with just the right amount of level backyard, that's very much puppies' and kids' friendly.

Inside promises a delicious open look and feel, with high end contemporary, big ticket items, like the designer kitchen, with butler's style pantry, the gorgeous master bathroom and stunning ensuite.

The toughest of critics will struggle to pick on any of these 3 spaces, with the look and quality synonymous with far more expensive homes.

The light and breezy open living, spills out off the impressive designer kitchen and out to a fabulous covered outdoor entertaining deck, with outdoor kitchen style barbecue, perfect for when family and friends get togethers.

You can keep an eye on the kids playing in the backyard, the barbecue and anything you're whipping up on the gorgeous freestanding kitchen cooker too.

Back inside, beyond the main open plan living, discover extra optional living spaces, to use as you choose.

Currently used as a kids toys and activity room, by the young family owners, because they can easily keep an eye on their little ones at play, from the kitchen and primary living, this additional space could easily be your separate TV or reading room, your home office or guest bedroom, depending on your needs.

In addition to both the open plan living and this secondary living or bedroom space, the clever retro fitted mezzanine area, likewise offers a great work from home office, reading room, place for pilates and gym equipment, Xbox or play station centre for teens, or the perfect spot for a sofa lounge, when extras sleep over.

Beyond these extra living or bedroom options, discover 3 wonderfully generous beautiful bedrooms, with the master set away from the other bedrooms and bathroom wing.

The delicious master suite, boasts a hand crafted stunning feature wall, you'd expect to see star on The Block.

A to die for, full floor to ceiling tiling, expansive ensuite will make you drool, with its huge double shower and genuine twin basin vanity, with stacks of room and plenty of quality on show here.

Of course there's also the mandatory walk in robe, which is well fitted out and more than just your typical hanging space.

Located in a separate wing to the rear of the home, discover 2 more lovely oversized bedrooms, separated by another stunning bathroom, again with full floor to ceiling tiling and a beautiful freestanding bath and separate shower, with rain head shower, and a very practical separate toilet.

As pretty, as it is practical, this home's design is a break away from the huge 2 storey and mega split level homes on sloping blocks, we typically see in Murrays.

Instead it offers a very much one level indoors and outdoors design, with just the right amount of space for down-sizers and busy working couples and small families, who don't have the time or inclination for never ending cleaning and house work.

An ideal lock up and leave home, these owners have their camper on the grounds and ready to go at a second's notice, so if you're more into lifestyle than a mammoth house to take care of, this is a fabulous option.

Set on a decent size corner block, you enjoy single level living, without feeling squeezed in or hemmed in, with all of the must have indoor and outdoor living we all can't get enough of.

In fact the outdoor living is bigger than lots of the monster homes offer, so you get the best of easy care one level living inside and great outdoor space for when you're entertaining a crowd, and because it's covered, it's all weather friendly, enjoying a perfect sunny and breezy North aspect as well …
