Contrasted with a bright custom-designed cedar kitchen encompassing double Smeg oven, s/s dishwasher and WI pantry. Display shelving is ideal for showcasing spices, and granite and hardwood benches provide an interesting and practical aesthetic. Family/meals integrate effortlessly with this convivial space, united by a breakfast bar and wood fired heater to appreciate in the cooler months.
The sleeping accommodation benefits from a shared sun-bathed retreat, where the expanses of elevated windows circulate a gentle breeze to further enhance relaxation. Displaying 4 sizeable bedrooms, BIRs (2 with external access and 2 with BI desks) and a large fully fitted home office or possible 5th bed. The master welcomes soothing views to the fish pond and rockery garden, offering an ensuite and fitted WIR. The richly grained BI cedar cabinetry throughout promotes a unique sense of quality and one of Alistair Knox's most prominent design features.

The beauty of this native environment is cleverly expressed throughout the interiors of this unique creation, seamlessly marrying the dual habitats.
