17 Rice Crescent makes a statement with a secure perimeter and drive on access. Buyers will enjoy the covered front door entrance, which being strategically located along the Eastern side of the home makes it both private and immune to the elements.

With the ability to configure this open-plan space into numerous living arrangements, makes for a magnificent space to either host in or relax after a busy day at work. This large North-facing area benefits from lashings of all day sun, and in those cooler months, the warmth of the heatpump. Curling up on the couch watching your favourite TV show, being engulfed in your favourite book, or taking in the impressive views on offer are all a treat here.

Located strategically between the kitchen and lounge areas, this is a super spot for the family to come together at mealtimes or to oversee the kids doing their homework or reading while the adults are nearby. Oodles of natural light, impressive views, and access to the North-facing deck too.

A clean, functional, and user-friendly kitchen, complete with an extra pantry space and quality whiteware appliances like the Bosch rangehood, dishwasher and oven. This inviting area ensures a strong connection with the open-plan dining and lounge areas, and helps connect family and friends effortlessly, as the chef of the home whips up another culinary delight.

1. The spacious master-bedroom boasts a generous sun-filled space, complete with ensuite and a walk-in wardrobe that caters for those with a generous allowance of clothing! Complete with heatpump, this is a private, warm, bedroom. And quite possibly, the jewel of the crown being the private sliding door access to the entertainment area - what a space indeed!

2. A great-sized, West-facing, second bedroom complete with a built-in wardrobe and its own heatpump too. Oodles of afternoon sun help make the most of each day!

3. Well-placed along the middle of the hallway, opposite the family bathroom and complete with its own built-in wardrobe and fixed wall shelving too. East facing means you’ll need little help to leap out of bed each day!

The architecturally designed outdoor entertainment area is a welcome addition, and will take any form of relaxation and hosting to a new level. It’s certainly every parents’ dream to have an outdoor area that is safe, welcoming, and private. What a treat to have such a low-maintenance backyard, sheltered from the elements, yet kissed by the sun. Complete with a grassed area on the upper level, while low-maintenance paving and decking flank both the West and East sides of the home.

A single garage with an automatic door, as well as off-street parking for three. It’s great news to be able to have all the family’s cars off the street each day.

On top of storage space in the attic, there’s further storage areas under the stairs (accessed through the garage) in the dual linen floor-to-ceiling hallway cupboards, and in the extra cylinder hallway cupboard. Even the most enthusiastic of collectors would struggle to fill all of this generous storage space!
