Other highlights of this impressive abode include split-system heating/cooling for year-round comfort, along with engineered timber floors, remote-control external blinds, full-size laundry and adjoining utility/storeroom. Completing the picture is a large terrace ideal for relaxing or entertaining, plus the added appeal of a rear courtyard and lock-up single garage.
