The addition of a custom designed breakfast bar with timber detailing that extends seamlessly off the island bench offers the perfect place for shared conversations. 

Floor to ceiling large double doors open out to ornamental grapevines that drape effortlessly over a pergola covering the alfresco entertaining area. The surrounding gardens created by Annick Houle are simply breathtaking and create the perfect indoor and outdoor fusion. Established Liquid Amber, Smoke bush, Jacaranda, Peppercorn and Gingko trees line the perimeter, whilst succulents, lavender and a vegetable and herb garden create a truly enviable space for family fun and laughter.

The master suite reveals a haven of relaxation, featuring a walk-in robe and a decadent ensuite with a double vanity, Carrera marble and a freestanding bath. Upstairs you will find three bedrooms all with built-in storage and one with an ensuite. As well as the main bathroom and a second living area perfect for a kid's hideaway with built-in desk and sweeping views of the city skyline. You'll also discover a downstairs powder room, full family laundry and a cosy courtyard. 

Split-system air conditioning, hydronic heating, an automated indoor/outdoor sound system and a 6-burner gas barbeque are just some of the premium inclusions.
