The home is a Colorbond construction sitting on a steel frame, removing almost all upkeep requirements. Timber decks take full advantage of the outdoors and the captivating views on offer.

Overlooking the dining and lounge, this is a great family inclusive space. Completing this level is the main bedroom complete with a walk-in-robe and a large bathroom. Up stairs, there is a massive room which opens up all sorts of possibilities. This could be the main bedroom, there is even already a walk-in robe. Or split it into 2 and easily make it 2 more large bedrooms. Currently the space is used as the home office and kid's play area. Doors lead into the roof space either side, providing a huge amount of extra storage.

Back on the main level, the passageway leads past the laundry, through to a completely separate living, dining and kitchen with 2 more bedrooms and another bathroom. Ideal for multi-generational living, this can be part of the main home or shut off with its own access via sliding doors onto a lovely big covered deck. Perfect for an aging parent, or the child that just won't leave home. Or maybe it provide a bit of extra income.

The deck continues around the corner to the veggie garden and hot house, great for when you need fresh herbs whilst cooking. Adding to the home-grown produce is the chicken coop for farm fresh eggs and cherry trees.
