Set on a huge 956m2 block in a peaceful cul-de-sac, the garden walls ensure privacy and beautifully landscaped gardens makes this family home a country oasis.

They just don't make houses like this anymore with 9 foot ceilings, stained glass windows, ornate cornices, ceiling roses and double brick throughout; old style charm with all the features expected from the modern family.

The formal lounge and dining rooms are spacious and open up into the private courtyard and backyard through timber doors. Bamboo floors feature throughout the open plan kitchen and living room with the large kitchen boasting stainless steel appliances, a large walk-in-pantry and a fabulous long bench top, ideal for casual family entertaining.

There are four bedrooms, the one located at the entry is ideal for a home office with built in cupboards and shelves. The master suite is the ultimate parent's retreat with updated built-in-wardrobes and updated en suite with floor to ceiling tiles and a heated towel rack. One of the bedrooms adjoins a large study featuring built in desk and cupboards which provides the perfect option as a teenagers' retreat or guest accommodation..

Outside there are two distinct entertaining areas, the beautifully landscaped private front courtyard which is the perfect spot to enjoy the morning paper with your coffee. From the courtyard there's access to the double garage with storage.

The backyard can be accessed from both the formal lounge and living rooms and has been designed with family entertaining in mind.
