If easy, low maintenance family living at the highest level sounds too good to be true, then this modern double storey could be the exception you’ve been waiting for.
Evergreens and succulents fill manicured gardens in the front and backyards, giving leafy surrounds with minimal upkeep – a bonus for those with little time for gardening at weekends.
Its impeccable construction is evident in the quality of fixtures and fittings, polished hardwood floorboards and extensive use of glass which adds to the feeling of spaciousness.
Behind this delightfully presented brick and weatherboard fa
çade is an architecturally-designed residence with an expansive and flexible floor plan.
The ground floor is dedicated to communal living, dining and entertainment and there’s a seamless transition from indoors to out.
Entry leads into the impressive family-meals area with modern decor highlighted by honey-toned floorboards.
Tucked away at the rear is a stunning kitchen which has stone benchtops and stainless-steel appliances.
The generously-sized main bedroom (downstairs at the left of the entry) has a built-in wardrobe and en suite with double shower.
There’s also a powder room .
The remaining two large bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes, are upstairs; each has a split-system and high windows.
The sleek main bathroom has a glass shower with large format tiles, a separate bath and a single basin in a customised stone-topped vanity unit.
Downstairs, french doors open off the family-meals room onto the beautifully landscaped, north-facing courtyard which is surrounded by raised garden beds, creating a private, relaxed ambience for outdoor dining and entertainment.
A lengthy list of modern conveniences includes gas ducted heating, three split-systems, high ceilings throughout, an alarm system and three toilets. There’s also a single garage.
It’s within metres of shops, all levels of schooling, the train station and bus services.
