Ducted heating warms throughout this family home, with summer comfort provided by the reverse cycle air conditioning. An inviting gas fire warms the dining room which is adjacent to the large kitchen area. There is practical and stylishly built-in shelving in the rumpus room, a separate laundry and large cellar. The approved studio with kitchenette and bathroom in the rear garden provides privacy, perfect for a larger family as a get-away space. Nature is always in flower in this richly planted garden with more than 130 rose bushes and cottage flowers. Abundant fruit trees provide a ready supply for enjoyment straight from the trees or jam preserving and bottling. This private family home is strategically located opposite the gate-path to O'Connor Ridge for morning or weekend bushwalks. This home has been enjoyed by only three families since its inception and now it is time to become your castle!
