Ample overhead and under bench cabinets finished in fresh, neutral cream provide plenty of storage and a stretch of benchtop that extends to a servery and ends in an integrated breakfast bar, fashions a practical family hub. A large casual meals area adjoins the kitchen, and this space, in turn, leads out to the paved alfresco entertaining area set under a gable roof.A laundry/mudroom with a separate shower and a separate WC sits at one end of the meals area. Next to this is a multipurpose space, ideal as a guest room, media room, or home office. On the first floor, a spacious landing with reverse cycle split system air conditioning and a balcony at either end leads to four large, high-ceilinged bedrooms, two with built-in robes, and a huge family bathroom with a separate WC. The main bedroom and one junior sit at the front of the plan, and both have direct access to the balcony; the main bedroom is large enough to accommodate a freestanding wardrobe and sitting area comfortably. The two additional junior bedrooms are spacious with high ceilings - one being queen-sized. A large multipurpose room - ideal as a playroom, teens' retreat, or media room completes the first-floor layout.Brick paving extends from the rear of the home to create a large outdoor living and entertaining zone. A built-in barbeque sits at one end of this north-facing space, overlooking a central lawn edged with reticulated garden beds and steps leading to a huge, productive olive tree. Paving extends from the alfresco entertaining area to the east of the home, where two large citrus trees suggest a shady Italian piazza.
