Beyond the lush subtropical gardens and smartly landscaped grounds, this family home will see you through the teen years and beyond. Crisp and modern with just the right decorative touches, it's a home with plenty of versatility. Use the downstairs living area, bathroom and bedroom as either the parent retreat or turn it over to the kids. Opening to a sheltered deck and sun-trap courtyard, you'll feel like you're at some island resort. Upstairs, three more bedrooms and two separate bathrooms can be divvied up as you wish while the open-plan north-facing living area has its own full-width deck and view shafts to the sea. In top school zones, a sheltered cul-de-sac and handy to shops and beach, there's internal double garaging and plentiful storage.
