A great opportunity for owners and investors to purchase in an area with promising growth potential. Recent major infrastructure projects, such as the Palmerston Regional Hospital, Palmerston Police Station and the Gateway Shopping Centre, secures popular rental demand in this developing area.

If you are sick of cookie-cutter identical houses and looking for a point of difference then you will love this custom built one of a kind elevated tropical home open the doors and walk into the home of your dreams! Perfectly situated in Farrar, this executive residence is on the doorstep to a growing number of amenities (city centre, entertainment hub, movies, hospital and police station).

This impeccable home has been set up to provide a relaxed, easy going lifestyle. Upstairs, the expansive open plan kitchen/living area (including a convenient work desk) is a massive 66m2, directly adjoining a vast wrap around verandah (20m x 4m deep). Made for entertaining, or simply chilling out and enjoying the good life in style. The entire space comes together through four sets of aluminium powder-coated double frenchdoors, which catch the many breezes that flow through unimpeded thanks to the elevated height.

The verandah is the favourite spot to dine or hang around in a hammock at the end of the day, as it provides fantastic views of the surrounding skyline, including intensely coloured sunsets, exhilarating lightning storms and Territory Day firework displays. This area also provides additional family space for young children to easily play or ride small bikes around, whilst remaining in full view from the kitchen and lounge.

The designer kitchen will delight the home chef! Stone splashbacks and bench tops throughout, Smeg electric oven, 4 burner La Germainia gas cooktop, LG dishwasher, under-mount double sink with pull out flick mixer, copious pantry space and multiple storage draws. The over-sized cabinetry (extra deep at 700mm & extra high at 960mm) are much more comfortable for taller chefs. The 2.5m long island bench between the lounge and kitchen is a popular spot for family, friends and guests to sit and socialise, comfortably seating 6 people.

Downstairs the quiet main bedroom is perfect for day sleepers, with a large WIR attached and directly adjacent to the ground level bathroom/laundry. The second ground level bedroom fits two single beds comfortably and is fitted with Luxaflex Poly Resin Shutters for privacy. Upstairs, both bedrooms have sizeable built in mirrored robes. All four bedrooms are air conditioned for comfort.

Both bathrooms (upstairs and ground level) are spacious and airy with walk in shower areas (easily accessible for those with special needs), are tiled floor to ceiling and fitted out with contemporary mixer taps, shower rails and back to wall toilets. The ground level bathroom walls are core-filled to double as a cyclone shelter. The upstairs bathroom includes a massive corner bath fitted with a hand shower which is perfect to bathe the kids in. Oversize (1m) brushed stainless steel towel rails to accommodate bathsheets are standard throughout in both bathrooms, as are large ceiling fans and powerful exhaust fans over the showers.

The ground level living area is where the younger family members enjoy hanging out, playing games or watching movies this space could also very easily be converted to a fifth bedroom if required. The central open timber staircase has additional hidden storage recessed in the wall, and a room under the stairs which is very convenient storage for toy boxes and the like. Adjacent to the stairs is a second large quiet study space.

This ground level living area opens out to the spacious rear lawn area through yet another set of aluminium powder-coated double frenchdoors a sensational spot for a future pool if desired (electrical provision already in situ for pump).

The lush private tropical garden is terraced (with an engineered core filled block retaining wall) to provide both a beautiful garden backdrop and an expansive lawn area. The garden is very easy to maintain, with full auto reticulation and great accessibility through wide side passages down each side of the house. The 3mx3m Colorbond garden shed provides plenty of extra storage. The garden is fully enclosed with 6ft chain mesh and pool panel fencing for pets and safety.

There is an abundance of off street parking, courtesy of three secure parking bays directly under the huge front verandah plus the drive-around dual driveway. Additionally, the 3+ metre height clearance of the undercover bays are perfect if you wish to store a large boat or high top trailer/truck out of the weather (the drive-around driveway makes it super easy to reverse trailers in to the bays as well).
