Any one of this residence’s comprehensive catalogue of superior attributes would make it stand out as exceptional – from the ambient contemporary task lighting, the comfort of reverse-cycle air-conditioning & the richly hued hardwood flooring – a gleaming surface that is cleverly integrated with high quality vogue tiles & striking glass mosaic borders. From the stainless steel benches, timber veneer cabinetry, ornate plaster cornices & silky oak dressing to the soothing muted designer tones of taupe, caramel, aubergine & Prussian blue, it is a property that impresses on every level.
The stunning kitchen is the central focus of a sensational open plan living experience. Sweeping curvilinear workspaces create a dynamic cooking environment in a kitchen that beautifully embraces movement & creativity. Accented with stainless steel surfaces, it combines sleek modern style with warm natural materials. The steel adds a sharp sparkle & glamour to the soft-finished honey coloured timber veneer cabinetry & the subtly coloured ceramic splashbacks –cutting-edge technology in a warm contemporary design. Quality stainless steel Technika gas & electric cooking appliances allow you to whip up innovative dinners & decadent taste experiences… & to finish up, there’s the convenience of a Fisher & Paykel dishwasher.
Silky oak window dressing, polished floors, ornate plaster cornices, an aubergine feature wall, stainless steel light/ceiling fan & a perfect northeast aspect are features of the spacious master bedroom.
Bedroom two also has ornate cornices, a stainless steel light/ceiling fan & polished floors. It features a built-in wardrobe. Bedroom three has ornate cornices & sisal carpet in a contemporary latté hue.
Up-to-the-minute caramel mosaic centerpieces, taupe floor tiling, a geometric washing vessel, flickmixer, translucent glass cabinetry, frameless glass screen over the bath & an adjustable shower hose are highlights of the designer bathroom. There is also the convenience of a separate WC, decorated in a similar theme.

Set well back from the front property line & surrounded by lush lawn & low-maintenance landscaping, the home has been rendered in vogue café hues with the warmth of timber balustrading & window treatments.
