On arrival, endless shades of green fill your eyes with lushness and flowers scent the air with natures perfume, creating a lazy holiday feel. Beryl, in its mineral state is said to enhance courage, relieve stress and calm the mind. And life at 12-14 Beryl Street certainly mirrors these attributes with its serene setting.

A charming bull-nosed awning provides shade over the front veranda and makes a perfect spot to sit and ponder. Tucked around the side and rear, the paved veranda continues with plenty more sunny nooks to move throughout the day and entertain outdoors.

Stepping through the Judith Street entry, youll be swallowed-up by the enormity of the living area. Filled with sunlight and natural elements of stone, timber and slate, youll feel instantly connected with nature.

To the right, a farmhouse-style kitchen with solid timber cabinetry and loads of drawers, invites you to a gourmet cooking session. Theres miles of benchspace for prepping; an Omega cooktop and Chef wall-oven with griller, for the main event; plus a double-sink and half-dishwasher for the mess. Imagine, the dinner parties youll host, here!

The main bedroom is striking, with its atrium bathroom (created from skylights), a corner spa for soaking the day away and loads of room for plants to thrive. The walk-in-robe, suspended ceiling (with fan), fabulous floors and double-doors make a grand statement, as you relax in this private oasis.

A wide hallway leads to the other bedrooms, flanking either side of the house. Both have timber floors; while the one facing the street has built-ins and would make a great office; the other has sliding-doors to the backyard, via a terrace. At the end of the hall youll find a bathroom, separate loo and laundry alcove, with a convenient internal-door to the garage (or maybe the teenager zone?).

Moving outside, you cant help but notice the abundance of trees and natural beauty. Pathways lead you around the garden gallery where you can spend hours. A gazebo frame heralds a potential yoga or meditation sanctuary, and a large garden shed would make a wonderful artists studio.
