Designed by renowned architects John and Phyllis Murphy, this home was titled "The Australian", embracing a rustic garden outlook bordered by eucalyptus trees.

The single-storey house is zoned to maximise its orientation, with separate winter and summer living areas. A freestanding brick fireplace separates the lounge and dining spaces that are warmed by the winter sun, while a south-oriented family room is the perfect summer retreat, featuring French and stacker doors accessing the secluded alfresco area with decking and a built-in BBQ.
In the centre of the home, the kitchen is equipped with a wall oven, dishwasher and gas cooktop, overlooking a meals area.
The master bedroom features a walk-in wardrobe and bright ensuite. The other 3 carpeted bedrooms (2 with floor-to-ceiling built-in robes) share a family bathroom and separate toilet.
