Wide and handsome across the entire corner block, this homestead-style house has all the ingredients for spread-out family living and ease of maintenance.
The front garden is fully landscaped and the back is entirely dedicated to outdoor relaxation, with a mere strip of land on the fence line – the spot to hide a boat or trailer brought through side double gates.
Polished slate begins in the entry foyer and flows into the huge living hub beyond bifold doors. The family area has a bay window with elegant furnishings (a feature throughout) and a brick fireplace flanked by wood storage. A small brick bar in the corner is a gathering point.
The meals area is between the kitchen and a sitting room defined by half-height planter boxes. A lounge room has floating floorboards and a wood heater set against exposed bricks. The big kitchen has loads of white cabinets, a step-in pantry, microwave nook, 900mm gas cooktop and a wall oven.
An exposed brick wall adds warmth to the main bedroom. This room has twin walk-in wardrobes and an en suite with dual vanity basins and a multi-paned sliding door to a spa, sitting in an undercover outdoor space. Three other bedrooms are down a hallway at the opposite end, as is a separate toilet, laundry with storage and the main bathroom with spa.
Flanked by a mulched play area bound by pittosporums and a pebbled area with storage shed, the fully enclosed pergola has brick-edged garden beds planted with tree ferns, a mains gas barbecue and an old barrel and pump serving as a water feature.
The property has ceiling fans, ducted heating and cooling, a double garage and 10,000-litre water tank.
