A haven of considered calm and comfort both inside and out, this one-of-a-kind home offers a serene balance of open-air tranquillity and family functionality among peaceful and prestigious 'Hillside 2000'. With vivid trees accentuating an endearing street stance, a warm and welcoming interior centres around a pair of expansive living sections, offering ever-desired flexibility while augmenting a thoughtful pursuit of practicality. Making for warm and cosy nights in, a gas fire enhances a considerable front lounge, while an open-plan family/dining section enjoys stunning outlooks across manicured grounds. Tailored for the enthusiast, a superb kitchen boasts an array of high-end appointments, with Bosch, Brandt, and Fisher and Paykel appliances accompanied by abundant cabinetry and granite bench space.

The subject of extensive admiration through multiple publications, a comprehensively revitalised, Darrell Mcleod-designed backyard displays a collection of cohesive features, with a dry creek bed steering rainwater toward a glistening pond and water tank below. Perfect for a peaceful morning coffee among water-wise gardens, a gazebo joins a sun-drenched bocce court, with simple irrigation control ensuring ease of upkeep throughout the year.
