Overlooking the local reserve, this residence presents an enviable lifestyle! The interiors create a welcoming ambience, with raised ceilings, ornate lighting and plantation shutters adding charming accents throughout. Western light sweeps through the lounge, which entices you to settle in with your favourite book for a peaceful afternoon.

Featuring motorised blinds at both ends, this entertaining area perfectly protects your guests from harsh winds and weather. The kitchen features a step-in pantry, stainless steel dishwasher and 900mm oven/gas cooktop.

Mature, low maintenance gardens line the north-facing back fence for privacy, while the side garden captures an elevated outlook over the sporting grounds. The remote double garage features internal access. With the sporting grounds just across the road, the whole family will be inspired to enjoy a kick of the footy or a game of cricket.
