Inside, there’s plenty to enjoy.
A light-filled formal lounge room to the right of the entrance hall has slimline windows that have the same sharp rollerblinds that adorn several windows in the rest of the house, while underfoot is the charcoal-toned carpet that also cocoons the bedrooms.
Further down the foyer, the main bedroom has a walk-in-robe and an airy
en suite with generously proportioned stone tiles and chrome fixtures similar to those in the main bathroom.
In beautiful contrast to pale grey walls, timber-laminate floors with a light brown finish through the rest of the house lend sleek functionality to the open plan living area. This is where the family and meals expanse meets a kitchen with shimmering white stone surfaces and cabinets, 900mm cooker and dishwasher and glossy dark-tiled splashback.
A split-system is mounted on the wall of the family room to help keep everyone cooler when the mercury rises. When the weather turns colder, there is gas ducted heating through the entire house.
Visible through the living room windows, the backyard has a row of evolving trees and garden beds for both amateur and serious gardeners, while just beyond a sliding door there is a paved, under-roofline entertainment area.
Tall, gunmetal-colored Colorbond fencing promotes an atmosphere of intimacy and helps keeps the residence sequestered from too many visual disturbances.
Schools, some leisure facilities and public transport are a matter of short drives, while Woodland Shopping Centre is less than four kilometres away.
