The lifestyle centrepiece is a rear kitchen and living zone, flowing out to a garden studio/bungalow and alfresco area set in an oasis of green.
The work of renowned builder Mark Altmann, the stunning double-brick extension features a chef's kitchen, large lounge and meals area, polished concrete floors, exposed recycled brick walls and black-trim floor-to-ceiling stacker doors that open wide to extend the living space outdoors.

A large adjoining storage room offers scope to upgrade and add bathroom facilities.
The front section of the home is a dedicated bedroom zone, also providing the option of a formal lounge or study.
The generous bedrooms, two with built-in robes, share a designer bathroom with walk-in shower, deep soaker tub, feature tiles, stone benches and vanity with timber cabinets.
