This delightful home of stone and western red cedar, built in the latter part of the 20th Century, is surrounded by attractive gardens in 3.85 hectares (approx. 9.5 acres) of cleared grassland. Located only minutes from the Mortimer Bay Coastal Reserve, the property offers gently sloping, securely fenced, paddocks with trees retained for shade, and two dams providing ample water in the drier months. It is also within walking distance of the beach at Mortimer Bay, as well as the well-marked tracks of the Tangara Trail, popular for horse riding, bike riding, dog walking and bush walking.

A paved pathway winds through the garden to the front door of this charming two storey house and to a welcoming foyer. A spacious primary bedroom, an en suite that has two-way access to a separate toilet, and a dressing room (or walk-in wardrobe with some modifications) plus a separate study make up the eastern wing of the house, whilst a formal lounge in the centre of the home overlooks the front garden. The family kitchen, dining and living areas comprise the western wing that captures the sun for most of the day and opens onto a paved patio, ideal for lunchtime and evening outdoor meals. On the upper level can be found four good-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom, plus ample storage areas.
