The formal front entry with leadlight panelled double doors, under a full length verandah draped in wisteria and climbing rose, is well and truly deserving of a pause for reflection. The less formal rear entry is an inviting and breathtaking leafy arbour.

Upon entering the home some key factors become undeniable; with 46 squares under roof and 32.4 of living, every room is spacious plus the floor plan is the most family friendly layout you may ever see.

The hub of the home is most certainly the kitchen, it will surely delight your inner chef and inspire the creation of delicious, nutritious meals with excellent bench and storage space, a stainless steel rangehood and 5 burner stove with an abutting granite benchtop for safe placement of hot dishes from the oven, also with a dishwasher and double fridge hutch.

Quality and elegance abound in such features as 9' ceilings, chandeliers and French doors, they exist in perfect balance with displays of contemporary design such as square cut cornice, down lights and clean angular cabinetry and fixtures.

Three of the four bedrooms have walk in robes, the fourth has a built-in-robe, two have French doors for direct access to the verandahs, the bathroom and ensuite are both well-appointed and luxurious, a large laundry doubles as a mud-room with a cloak closet and third toilet, and for harmonious family life a separate kids or guest zone has a third living area with its own external French doors, an ideal position for a pool perhaps?

The formal lounge is superb yet the open plan living incorporating the kitchen is where you will most likely choose to be. Expansive windows bring the outdoors in and natural tones like ochre tiles and solid Jarrah bench-tops further enhance the sense of being in nature. An open fireplace creates a beautiful ambience while a solid fuel heater, gas space heater and ducted evaporative cooling will ensure your families comfort throughout the year. Ducted vacuuming makes cleaning a breeze.
