Hold onto your heart. Character rich and utterly inviting, this large, architect-designed four-bedroom plus study home draws inspiration from around the world to offer a truly unique setting for family life.

Set among 2/3rd acre (approx.) of mature gardens, the home is defined by a beautiful blend of influences - from the striking Spanish mission brick arches set into rustic stucco walls, gorgeous French farmhouse inspired kitchen and a fabulous outdoor entertaining area complete with Italian pizza oven overlooking the sparkling inground pool.

With the joy of everyday living seemingly distilled into its DNA, this is a home as practical as it is appealing with rustic paved floors untroubled by children or pets and three distinct living zones including an ambient lounge with crackling open fireplace and a huge tiled rumpus/games room for the kids to call their own.

A formal dining room with servery sits between the main lounge and farmhouse kitchen, while across the way a soaring raked ceiling draws wonderful natural light into the family room through high set clerestory windows.

With beautiful timber benches, feature cabinetry and hardworking appliances including a modern stainless steel wall oven and dishwasher, the kitchen is truly the heart of the home with extras including an island bench with granite insert perfect for pastry making and a traditional walk-in pantry.

Overlooking the solar-heated pool, the master bedroom has a walk-in robe and ensuite, while three more bedrooms and a fitted study (or additional single bedroom) share the bright main bathroom.

Outside, there plenty of room for the kids to play, ample space for a vegetable garden plus a cute chicken coop and run perfect for introducing some feathered friends.

Only minutes from the beach and village and a choice of excellent local schools, extras here include new carpet to hallway and bedrooms, freshly painted interior, cosy gas heating, assorted garden sheds for tools and storage, carport plus internal access to the remote-controlled double garage.
