Spread across three levels, generous accommodation options are peacefully zoned from living and entertaining precincts. Welcomed by the foyer, the entry level delivers a flexible separate lounge room, currently configured as a second main bedroom, two bedrooms fitted with built in robes and a large study. The luxurious family bathroom features a rain shower and a deep soak tub while a powder room and a separate laundry with external access add convenience.
Down a few stairs, the casual living and relaxation domain unfolds, anchored by a stone finished kitchen equipped with an island bench, enormous butler's pantry with garden access, a suite of Neff cooking appliances such as an induction cooktop, oven, a combi-steam oven and an integrated Asko dishwasher.

A paved terrace, lush lawn and private garden extend from the alfresco zone.
