At the rear, a deck overlooks the private back garden, creating a lovely spot to relax. Outside, the garden is a true delight. Established fruit trees, pear, apple, fig, cherry, plum, loquat, and nectarine, combine with roses, quiet sitting areas, and the iconic Hills Hoist to create a space that feels timeless and inviting. Two water tanks, an integrated solar system, and ducted heating add practical benefits, while a driveway leads to a carport and garage for easy access.
