& completed in the 1980's, the current owners have tastefully
& innovatively improved upon it since taking ownership a decade
ago - especially the magnificently landscaped grounds. Surely the
front garden would take the prize for best in the street with its
wondrously private reflective area protected by high pittosporum
hedging. Enhanced superbly by a well-grown magnolia, Japanese maple
& maroon-leafed plum, adjacent the bushy nandina garden beds
top elevated timber retaining walls. Banks of rhododendrons,
camellias & rose bushes bring vivid colour with their flowers
& waft perfumed scents to passers-by. Several rich-purple flax
plants provide additional glamour. In an ode to pragmatism,
extensive compacted gravel allows ample off-street parking, &
eliminates the need for lawn mowing or weeding.

An inviting formal entry with fossil-rich slate flooring greets
the eye upon entering, a generous bespoke walk-in
linen/cloak/storage cupboard close by. Recently painted throughout
in a warm neutral tone (ecru), the spacious, carpeted lounge
captures the late afternoon sun & overlooks the front garden
& streetscape. Adjacent, a similarly carpeted, east-oriented
dining room comfortably may seat 8 persons for more formal
gettogethers. Modern Holland blinds, door knobs & light
fittings feature throughout the abode. Ceiling insulation has also
been replaced in recent years.

The mostly original kitchen is in outstanding condition, is very
roomy, & features extensive laminate bench space, timber-look
cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, Euromaid-brand wall oven & hot
plates, plus a stainless-steel Bosch dishwasher. An easterly window
overlooking the backyard makes it easy to keep an eye on the little
ones. Abutting it is a relatively spacious casual living area with
hardy cork tiling, a huge laundry flowing on from it with abundant
space for an additional fridge or freezer. Crimsafe security doors
are another bonus.

Segregated from the others, the very large main bedroom is
carpeted, has custom-made built-in robes, & as in the lounge,
electric shutters to protect from the late setting summer sunlight.
Its revamped ensuite offers new vanity, Tastic heater/light &
WC & is in well-preserved order. Adjacent is a 3-way main
bathroom, replete with butterscotch-hued tiling & vanity unit
top, big bathtub & shower recess, new basin & separate WC.
The spare recess would make an excellent spot for an 'old world'
commode, display cabinet or pot plant. Both generous secondary
bedrooms are similarly carpeted, have built-in robes, wall shelving
& drapes adorning large windows. Ducted gas heating &
evaporative cooling ensure year-round comfort.

The back garden is ideal for young families who prefer to
entertain outdoors. There's a single carport to the side of the
home & another double wit...
