You'll be surprised and delighted by the colourful roses, irises, birds of paradise and a variety of Lilies that frame this fabulous home and greet you as you enter the gate in the high fence, creating the private and peaceful lifestyle within. Inside the home you'll be enticed by decorative cornices, a ceiling rose, picture rails and timber/bamboo floors. The front of the house offers two large robed bedrooms that are serviced by a pleasing central bathroom. There is a generous study that has a two way entrance plus a formal lounge that enjoys stunning vistas to the front garden. The lounge also has an enticing Jetmaster open fire place with a marble surround and hearth, plus a lovely timber mantle. The second big surprise is passing through the lounge and finding yourself in an expansive, open plan zone that allows an abundance of natural light to flow in and features a generous space for dining and casual living plus a striking entertainer's kitchen that will be the envy of your friends. With white panelled doors, an abundance of cupboard space, stone benchtops, an extra wide island bench with storage on both sides plus a place for casual meals, a SMEG 900mm freestanding six burner cooktop and oven, an appliance cupboard and built in wine racks, there is nothing more you could possibly want. Two sets of triple stacker doors access an extensive decked alfresco zone and allow indoor/outdoor living to merge seamlessly. From this vantage point you will get a full appreciation of the space below; there are more landscaped gardens, a pretty gazebo and a substantial veggie patch, protected behind a strong timber fence. A third bedroom with a built in robe and a private ensuite is found off the casual living zone and has access to the deck. This lovely light filled home also has a host of features including pendant feature lighting, well placed skylights, split system heating and air conditioning, gas ducted heating and a single carport with a roller door to provide security.
