Featuring striking architectural lines, the home blends seamlessly with its bushland setting while offering warmth, character, and functionality.
The master bedroom includes a walk-in robe, while additional bedrooms provide family accommodation. A well-zoned kitchen flows to open-plan living and dining areas, with natural light and bush views enhancing the interiors. The front verandah is a standout design feature, matching the width of the rear and extending from the master bedroom to a wing wall off the kitchen, with another wing wall positioned between the family bathroom and family room. In contrast, the eastern roadside and rear bedroom wings are intentionally verandah-free, allowing sun and light into the home. Adding further practicality, this residence also includes its own shed, ensuring storage and workshop needs are met.
