There is extensive use of timber throughout the house with colonial timber architraves and skirting boards and solid timber doors throughout, featuring stained glass in the passage areas. The Celery Top pine kitchen was nominated in the HIA Housing Awards in 2001. The large family living areas and passage ways all feature Tasmanian Oak Flooring.

The house has a fully switched Category 5 network with internet router providing access to all bedrooms and living areas and is capable of carrying both phone and internet. A fully programmable security system with movement sensors covering all access points and main living areas, and the workshop, provides peace of mind when away from the house. This system can be externally monitored if desired. There is a new 8kw reverse-cycle inverter heat pump, an instant gas hot water service and Ozzie-Kleen tertiary waste water system.

With its Northerly aspect the house enjoys all day sun and is surrounded on three sides by a timber deck giving both access to the house but also providing a variety of places to sit back and enjoy the expansive and uninterrupted views Frederick Henry Bay, Ralphs Bay and Mount Wellington and the ever changing panorama from sunrise through to the glorious sunsets reflected across Ralphs Bay.

With an area of just over 1.5 hectares (approx. 4 acres) there is enough land to accommodate most family interests without being too much to manage. Currently divided into 2 paddocks, easily broken down to smaller ones with use of temporary fencing, an orchard and vegetable garden. The larger paddock also has an arena for the horse enthusiast (could be a house site STCA), a large barn/horse shed and a large water hole to provide water for stock in the dryer months. All paddocks have access to pressured fresh water.

There is a large weatherboard building or approximately 80 square metres consisting of a workshop with mezzanine storage area, a tack-room (garden shed) and 2 carports suitable for the car, horse float or boat.

There is a good sized garden shed adjacent to the orchard for storage and garden supplies. A good sized shed with external laying boxes provides accommodation for hens and there is access to an enclosed secure run, suitable for approximately 6 hens.

The large barn/horse shed provides shelter and storage for larger animals. Currently used as a barn and horse shelter.
