GARAGING
Entry from a covered deck leads into a large living room featuring a double gas fire that backs onto the covered outdoor living area adjacent.
A dining area and kitchen complete the open plan arrangement. The kitchen is modern, functional and social with its large island, direct access through corner sliders to outdoor living, and its well-conceived plumbed scullery. A very inviting light, and bright space with green outlooks.
A hallway off the living area connects three bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, the last bedroom being well-positioned as a rumpus or media room.
An alternative hallway leads to the stairwell, powder room, laundry and family bathroom featuring a massive shower box.
The master suite exclusively occupies the second level with a large wardrobe and ensuite, and a lovely elevated northerly aspect and outlook
A galley-style laundry has plenty of bench space and connects to a large carport on the entry side of the home that provides covered access to both residents and guests alike.
Extensive asphalt hardscaping extends from the electric entry gates to the house and the large shed below the home site. The 12m x 6m steel-framed and clad shed has two roller doors, and has benefited from a previous matching addition by the original builder of an extra 22m2, creating a separate room with a toilet, kitchenette and electric HW cylinder. Once serving as a hair salon, this addition has lots of potential uses, either related or unrelated to the connected shed space.
A pool house with bathroom and kitchenette creates space for short or longer-term friends and family accommodation, and could provide for any combination of bedroom, work and hobby space, or even a gymnasium. The pool house and inground pool are surrounded by ample deck space and a resort-like private outdoor bathtub with hot and cold water.
Immaculate landscaped greenspace connects all boundaries and provides stunning soft containment of the home and its surrounding features. The grounds are further enhanced with an orchard area which includes Pear, Peach, Plum, Lemon, Orange, Avocado, Lime and Feijoas.
