Located on a large 1477sqm block in a quiet, Plane tree-lined street, this split level home has expansive open plan living and dining extending through to a covered timber-lined alfresco area by way of full width glass sliding doors. The north facing rear aspect floods the home with sunlight all year round and the above ground concrete swimming pool finished with mosaic tiles makes a striking visual statement.
The large modern kitchen is a chefs delight, with stone benches and cupboards stretching back to the laundry, a scullery and large island bench with dining area at one end and a recessed, decorative, pressed tin feature on the ceiling directly above. The spacious and highly functional laundry has extensive storage space provides direct access to the drying court.
The main living and dining areas are separated by a mirror clad, double-sided fireplace providing warmth, decoration and a lively atmosphere of illumination. This home that features high quality finishes and materials and some modern day design surprises. Energy efficiency, entertainment, family and recreational needs are all provided for in abundance.
