Not only is the property designed for comfort and style, but it also offers versatile living spaces, with the option to open up the atrium and lounge into one grand entertaining area or to close off the glass doors for privacy. The views from every room, especially the kitchen’s overlook of the lake, are thoughtfully positioned to enjoy the best of the surroundings. This managed holiday home is a St James Ave special, a highly sought-after address in Hanmer Springs, and a viewing is highly recommended.
