Overflowing with warmth, style and character, this grand family residence is equally at home with everyday lounging as it is with magnificent entertaining. Add in the flexibility of a self-contained granny flat plus the convenience of this prominent central location and it's clear this one is well worth your interest.
Secure front gating opens to the generous driveway and front garden, first welcoming you inside to the spacious formal lounge where the gorgeous timber flooring and large staircase make an excellent impression.
Continue ahead to the lovely light-filled dining area with air-con and quality tiling throughout, all adjoining the well-appointed kitchen with ample timber cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, large pantry and a centre island.
Just off the entry is a huge air-conditioned rumpus room with a spectacular built-in bar - perfect for a games room, home theatre or simply an additional lounge for entertaining in space and comfort.
Upstairs adds a further comfortable retreat, branching off into 3 large bedrooms with air-con to one and built-in robes to all three. Serving them all is the large central bathroom with double vanity, toilet and shower.
Also upstairs is the extravagant master bedroom boasting balcony access, air-conditioning and a huge walk-in robe connecting to a luxuriously sized ensuite with double vanity, toilet, shower and a relaxing spa bath to enjoy.
Ducted heating and evaporative cooling ensure year-round comfort throughout the home, with further features including a downstairs guest bathroom and separate laundry facilities located in the tandem double garage with both rear and internal access.
At the rear of the home is the huge undercover alfresco deck for all-weather entertaining, which leads out to the lush and leafy rear garden with garden sheds hidden away at the very rear of the block. Solar panels are fully installed on the rooftop to keep energy bills nice and low.
Last but certainly not least is the fully self-contained granny flat with its own separate side access, which features a large lounge, an adjoining kitchen and an air-conditioned bedroom with ensuite. This is a perfect opportunity for hosting extended family, a teen retreat or bringing in extra rental income.
