Laid back summer living.

Set on an 808m² (more or less) landscaped site in a sought after neighbourhood, this expansive single-level home embraces a superb indoor-outdoor environment where everything is laid on for relaxed summer living. Interiors enjoy an intimate relationship with the outdoor entertainment precinct featuring a portico for all-weather dining, courtyard living and a glistening in-ground salt water swimming pool. Your family can holiday at home over Christmas.

The 259m² (more or less) floor area delivers light-filled living options, a quality kitchen and stylish tiled bathrooms, including an en-suite and separate powder room. Five bedrooms ensure ample accommodation for family and guests. The stone-look kitchen, with a central island, wall oven and frosted glass pantries, overlooks the meals and living area, as well as the outdoor precinct to create great social cohesion.

The peaceful master retreat, which opens onto the pool precinct, has a walk-in robe and a fully tiled en-suite with a walk-in shower and wide vanity.

From the moment you step into the tiled foyer you are greeted with a sense of well-being through intelligent design optimising light and space. There is a smooth flow between zones and enhancements of a wide hallway, separate laundry and an ironing press room. Three heat pumps and DVS provide good creature comfort. Garaging is double internal access and the grounds are easy-care with generous on-site parking.

Designed for a contemporary lifestyle, this brick home offers premium entertaining options and superbly balanced activity and sleep zones in a layout that gives consideration to both parents and children.
