In the heart of the home, this charming kitchen features a built-in pantry, reverse cycle air conditioner and space for casual meals.
At the front of the home is the large formal lounge featuring ornate cornices, ceiling roses and a slow combustion fire.

Venture outside to find yourself elevated over the whimsical sloping yard. Step down on to the timber alfresco deck where you can relax in the shade of the house and listen to the tranquil noise of the creek when it flows from May to December, birds chirping in the trees and even be greeted by one of passing duck families, bandicoots or long-neck tortoises.
Cross the creek via the timber bridge under the incredible weeping willow to follow the winding garden path through the shady, reticulated yard and mature citrus and fruit trees to the double roller door, fully-powered, cement floor workshop situated at the rear of the block, straight off the property s second entrance. On the way, you would have passed the creek-side, grape vine trellised patio and spaces for both vegetable and herb gardens.
