With its high-quality construction, efficient design and functional floorplan as well as generous garaging and off-street parking, this freehold residence offers all the flexibility of luxury lock-up-and-leave living. The property is set back from the road, with the solid brick build's plastered finish imparting a distinct European flair. The construction method, combined with complete double glazing, keeps power bills to a minimum and creates a relaxed, secure and whisper-quiet living environment.

Two beautifully-proportioned levels are flooded with natural light and extensive wall space which provides ample areas for displaying your art collection. The ground floor is dedicated to open plan living, dining and an attractive and well-sized galley kitchen. Two sets of large glass stackers create a seamless connection with the outdoors, where an inspired landscaped design reflects the style of the home.

Lush gardens, palms and mature hedges create a tranquil, private oasis and the area is fully fenced for small children and pets. The paved patios on either side offer outdoor spaces in which to relax in and out of the sun. In addition to the generous storage inside, there is also ample storage outside for garden tools and beach equipment.

A powder room and laundry, and a carpeted two car internal garage complete the ground floor. The garage is complemented with another two off-street parks. Upstairs offers another lounge and four bedrooms. Three are serviced by the fully tiled family bathroom with claw foot tub, while the luxe master retreat has its own ensuite, generous dressing room and private balcony that enjoys sea breezes and treetop views. Air conditioning/heating up here keeps things cool in summer and warm in winter.

The location is perfect too - just a few short steps from the front gate to the sands of Cheltenham beach and the bus stop for a quick trip to the village and CBD ferry.
