Sitting on a corner block at close quarters to schools, Watervale Gardens shopping centre and a train station, this federation-style, three-bedroom house is a picture of impeccable taste.
It is surrounded by a beautiful garden with vibrant plants and manicured beds edging a smooth lawn. Rich red brickwork, cream lacework fringing the corners of its verandah posts and a federation green colorbond steel roof add to the appeal.

Inside has been refreshed so that the contemporary, earth-toned walls and carpets meld beautifully with rustic timber floor boards. In the carpeted lounge room, gracefully-dressed windows frame the garden.
Across the entry hall, the main bedroom is warm and inviting. It has a walk-in robe and a sparkling en suite where classic and modern fuse easily, with a floating vanity sitting alongside an immaculate, bronze-edged shower.
The timber floorboards flow from the foyer to the family living area with integrated kitchen. This has gleaming cabinets, plenty of bench space and dual pendants suspended over the breakfast bar. The attractive, extended island peninsular provides extra scope for serious cooking sessions or unexpected diners.
A gas fireplace in the living zone invites you to relax with family or host get-togethers.
A gabled pergola covers a paved outdoor entertainment zone with mounted television, sturdy lights and overhead fans – ideal for year-round use. This area has recently been updated with a coat of dark grey paint polishing up the pavers as well as the water tank.
Deep carpeting that invites bare feet lines the floors of the other bedrooms, while contemporary colours complement the pendant lights, curtain pelmets and full drapes dressing the windows. These rooms share a central bathroom with glass brick window, corner spa bath and, like the en suite, a stylish modern vanity.
Finally, the abode has a large double garage with access to the backyard, ducted vacuuming and evaporative cooling.
