Bring out the welcome mat

Although it doesn’t announce its true size street side, this house has nearly 28 squares of living space, all of which is well designed to cater for a family that values both shared and separate downtimes.

And it has just that bit extra to standard builds, such as subtly ornate cornices, a sunken rumpus room, in-wall sliding doors and super-elegant window furnishings.

The front door opens to an extra-long, tiled hallway with patterned floor tiles as a feature.

At left is the main bedroom with bay window, walk-in fitted wardrobe and big ensuite with twin vanity basins under a bulkhead and a heat lamp. Opposite is the study with triple-door storage and garage access; this could easily work as a fourth bedroom. Further on there’s a big, open, carpeted lounge room. Next door, accessed by in-wall sliders, is the step-down, carpeted rumpus room that opens to a very big, pitched roof pergola area (behind the garage) edged with greenery and paved in coloured concrete.

Preceding the family hub, a tiled hallway ducks to two bedrooms with mirrored wardrobes, a laundry with storage, separate toilet and the main bathroom with blue and cream decor, a spa and heat lamp. Near family sitting space and a meals area set in a wide bay window, the kitchen has a two-door corner pantry, loads of timber-look vinyl-wrap cupboards, a dishwasher, 900mm gas cooktop and a Delonghi wall double oven.

The good-sized backyard has a Colorbond shed with roller door, a pebbled utility area, an L-shaped lawn and a mulched playground.

Not far from St Catherine’s Primary School, Navan Park and Catholic Regional College, this well-presented property has plenty of bang for its buck.
