This is the kind of house where families have space to flourish and living and entertainment would be a pleasure.

Anyone looking for a running start into a competitive housing market would be thrilled to secure this immaculately presented Derrimut property.

The residence is well-positioned on a 516-square-metre corner block in a peaceful new development.

Paved surrounds and stone-covered gardens in the front and backyard mean there’s no need to spend endless weekends mowing the lawns and tending the gardens.

Beyond the front door lies an expansive and flexible floor plan, high ceilings in all the rooms, tiled living areas and carpeted bedrooms enhanced by a cocoa and cream palette.

Generously-sized bedrooms are a hallmark of the house’s design, starting with the main, through double doors to the left of entry, which includes a walk-through wardrobe, large enough to make many woman breath a sigh contentment, and en suite with twin basins and double shower.

At hall’s end is the open living hub which has a huge kitchen with high-quality stainless-steel dishwasher, integrated microwave and coffee machine, 900mm under bench oven, gas cooktop and rangehood.

The wraparound Caesarstone bench overlooks the family-meals area and there’s a large theatre room off the family area for countless movie nights in with the kids or grandkids.

Three more good-size bedrooms are towards the rear, each with full-length mirrors and built-in wardrobes and naturally-lit thanks to large windows in each.

At the heart of the house is the tiled main bathroom which has a modern glass shower and spa.

There is also a separate toilet, an extra powder room towards the front, and a large laundry.

The living hub opens through sliding doors to a fully decked outdoor dining and entertainment area for endless summer barbecues with friends.

Extra creature comforts include hydronic heating, cooling, a shed and remote-controlled double garage with internal access.

Its location puts schools, shops and public transport within a walk.
