Overlooking established gardens, this inviting space encourages relaxed entertaining and year-round enjoyment.

The main bathroom features a separate shower and full-sized bathtub, while the second bathroom, conveniently positioned off the family room, provides additional functionality. Both are bright and finished with charming classic watercolour-style tiling. A separate toilet further enhances the practicality of the floorplan. Reverse cycle heating and cooling units in both the lounge/dining room and family room provide year round comfort.

The full-sized laundry provides excellent functionality with direct access to the rear yard. Outside, the generous enclosed backyard is complemented by Colourbond fencing, a lockable garden shed, established garden beds and multiple entertaining areas, offering both privacy and plenty of scope for future enjoyment.
