A plethora of beautiful plants line the front fence. A majestic Gum tree filters light through its canopy as you wander to the verandah, passing planted hedging, fragrant star jasmine and a stunning pink Robinia tree. Through the front door, the span and stud height of the classic entrance hall set the tone of this very special property. A large garage also offers internal access.

The north and west facing lounge flows directly between the entrance hall and to the living room. Elegance and informality combine in this spacious room, with its leafy outlook and excellent sunshine. Equally perfect for busy, family based activities, or for curling up with a good book. Close the French doors and simply enjoy the tranquility of the setting.

Between the lounge and kitchen/dining and accessible from the hallway, this room opens to the west facing lawn. A Weeping Elm, with a wraparound seat, forms a sculptural image through the French doors. When the season calls for shelter and warmth, close those doors and nestle in front of a roaring wood burning fire and a movie. The fireplace has fitted bookshelves and a floor standing heat pump provides instant heat when time is short.

The dining area is open plan to the kitchen and perfectly positioned for year round sun and a garden panorama. A mature honey coloured Sunburst tree, a magnificent Magnolia and pristine Buxus hedging around the lawn are just some of the stars for you to enjoy by day.

The kitchen was refurbished by the present owners with equal attention to its design aesthetic and practicality. Fresh white cabinetry, integrated white ware and some fabulous standalone units contribute to a point of difference that is experienced throughout the house. The garden outlook is charming and the back door leads to the rear deck, gardens, pool and laundry.

A butler's sink is handy for guests or the hobbyist and the double glazed joinery includes French doors that open the room to the gardens.

The gardens surrounding this home are both beautifully suited to its architectural style, and the perfect playground for children adults and pets alike! To the north facing front are decorative trees including a spectacular Gum tree which has been groomed to ensure its continued longevity as a canopy between the fence and front porch. To the west the lawn is at its widest and contains the Weeping Elm with its circular seat for welcome shade from the hot summer sun. Framed by extensive Buxus hedging, the gardens are as robust for pets, playtime and ball games as they are an elegant sundowner setting. The rear gardens offer a range of edibles, including a prolific fig tree, feijoas, and young apple and lemon trees. There is a potager style vegetable patch, too. And then there is the pool - much loved and what a bonus! The beach might be a few moments away but the pool is right here and by the bbq!

The internal access garage is a generous double (tandem style), with further off-street parking in front of the auto door.
