In the generously proportioned lounge, full length, timber-framed windows overlook the garden and are furnished with quality drapes. Ducted reverse cycle, split system air conditioning with two zones ensures comfort. Twelve solar panels offset energy use, assisted by solar hot water.

The oversized second bedroom is fitted with a long wall of built-in robes, the third bedroom a modern robe, while both of these have timber framed sash windows. They are served by the main bathroom which features marble tiling and a rain shower fitting. A surprise is in store in the luxurious size of the master bedroom, which offers a walk-in robe, study nook, an ensuite and a double glazed, sliding door to the rear deck.

A further discovery lies at the end of the hallway in a large adults' retreat, featuring a corner spa, which takes in a private garden view through a sliding door, opening onto its own deck! This space may also hold potential to be converted to an additional bedroom.

There is almost as much to uncover in the garden, where creative energy has established a haven of self-sufficiency and harmony. A raised veggie bed which runs for over 16 metres, can supply most of what is required, while a great variety of abundant fruit trees are dotted around, including nectarine, truffle infused hazelnut, peach, plum, apricot, cherry, apple, lemon, fig, pear and pomegranate. A circular bed in the native front garden forms a yin and yang symbol, the centrepiece a three-tiered teardrop featuring a distinctive weeping wattle. Four water tanks with a total capacity of 15,000 litres support this well mulched and surprisingly low maintenance garden.

A single garage that includes two rooms at the rear for storage or workshop and secure off-street parking behind a remote roller door offer ample space. Connected to the garage is a large covered area on a concrete floor that opens up to the rear garden, for relaxing or entertaining.

The friendly neighbourhood is in an enviable, convenient location, close to the light rail, Saturday Farmers' Markets and just a stroll to Downer and Watson shops. Just as close is the vibrant Dickson centre for shopping, restaurants, gyms and the local swimming pool. Recreation facilities close by include netball, archery, hockey, volleyball, golf and tennis just to name a few, while many sought after schools are within easy reach.

Offering space, comfort, individuality and sustainability, a home to nurture its family.
