Specially imported light fittings beautifully enhance the aesthetic appeal.
For everyday living, an entertainers' kitchen, stunning in white with premium appliances and breakfast bar connects to a large family room and a sizable verandah with wonderful city and sea views.
A large dining and lounge provide excellent additional living spaces with French doors allowing these rooms to become one when entertaining. A guest bathroom and laundry complete this inviting section of the home. Ascend the beautiful native timber stairway to the first floor where the sumptuous master awaits, complete with an en-suite and a private balcony. Two large double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a beautifully appointed family bathroom enhance this level.
Ensuring comfort throughout the seasons, the home is centrally heated, well insulated and features double-glazed windows. A log burner adding ambience in the formal lounge over the winter months. An established landscaped garden with rock wall terracing and two small lawn areas requires little ongoing maintenance.
