Bedroom two offers a built-in robe and ceiling fan, while bedroom three has a built-in robe. Bedroom four is perfectly suited for a home office or creative space, with a built-in desk, and shelving, but could also serve as a bedroom with a built-in robe included.

HEART & HOME: In the Owner's Words
"We have lived here for over fifty years and never until recently anticipated leaving. It has been an incredibly difficult decision to make. However, life and aging eventually catches up with you. We are leaving a home that is comfortable. It is shady and cool in summer, warm in winter. There is nothing better than walking in the nearby bush or sitting on the back deck and watching the birds that visit to feed on the bushes and insects or to make use of the bird bath. We are a fortunate community, our doorsteps are on the fringe of the bush and at the same time the local shopping centres, universities, hospital and City are in easy reach. We have failed to mention the wealth within that community, the generosity and the friendships made over many years, excess bounties from gardens nearby or simply the wave and smile from fellow walkers. With luck we will remain close by." – Faye & Rob
