Whether you're a family ready to put down roots or a downsizer seeking comfort and calm, this residence delivers a rare sense of welcome from the moment you arrive.

The expansive open plan kitchen and family room is designed for everyday ease. Abundant storage, electric appliances, a tiled splashback and a thoughtful layout make cooking a pleasure. A breakfast nook, direct access to the laundry, and a connection to the back garden reinforce this space as the true heart of the home.

Year round comfort is assured with ducted gas heating and evaporative cooling. The master suite offers a quiet retreat with a built-in vanity and a well appointed ensuite, while the main bathroom features a full sized bath and a separate water closet.
Outdoors, the lush rear garden is a private haven with a covered seating area, ample lawn for children and pets, a clothesline, and a separate carport and workshop. The home is move-in ready yet offers exciting potential for future extension or transformation.
