Opposite a permanent reserve, this house has a chocolate and cream colour palette — inside and out — but it bucks the trend towards “keeping it neutral and safe” by having a bold splash of wall colour, one room with classy wallpaper, and cabinetry treated to dark timber-look laminate.
This succeeds in raising the style stakes, rescuing the house from standard fare.
It has plenty of living space, too, with an open, carpeted lounge room as an adult haven, a separate (carpeted) rumpus or theatre room with handy storage, and a big, tiled family hub which opens to a covered pergola at the side.
The broad entry hall has an open carpeted study to the right, with the main bedroom next door where a walk-in wardrobe and en suite with dual vanity basins and a heat lamp are features. Three more bedrooms with wardrobes are down a hallway from the family zone. A separate toilet and sparkling main bathroom are close by.
An extra-long island bench defines the kitchen, where a two-door pantry, glass splashback and a 900mm gas cooker under a steel-and-glass rangehood make it pretty cruisy for whipping up family meals.
Side access to a Colorbond shed makes this property a catch for tradies and hobbyists — or for boat and caravan fans — and the double garage (with internal access) is bigger than normal, too.
The side yard is fully landscaped, while out back there’s a pittosporum screen along the fence behind a retaining wall.
A vegie patch is simply a bonus to this block of about 700 square metres.
