Warm and Inviting Family Home.
This architecturally interesting home was way ahead of its time with building techniques and cosmetic features now commonly utilised in modern builds, some 40 years later. Maybe it's true what they say about everything coming back into fashion. Desirable features like high ceilings and big windows to attract natural light and encourage air flow, floating bathroom vanity cupboards with built in towel rails, recessed bathroom cabinets, the use of quality solid timbers like Oregon and Western Red Cedar, double clinker brick and concrete slab subfloor construction which now days are just too costly for most builders to bare. When you really explore this home in detail, the construction quality is evident and there's still opportunity to add your personal touches and individual flair to make this house your very own home.
