Quality, low maintenance courtyard living doesn’t get better than this Hickinbotham Homes, custom designed and constructed, sandstone-fronted, Tuscan style residence. Manicured, gardenia scented box hedges greet us at street level, welcoming us into the home. The quality appeal continues with a wide entrance and hall boasting quality porcelain tiled floors and a neutral colour scheme flowing effortlessly past a central courtyard to the living area at the rear. Quality window treatments and soft furnishings make a notable statement with complete block-out curtains throughout the home. A fantastic chef’s kitchen overlooks the lounge and dining area in an open plan design that allows for full personal interactivity. Stainless steel appliances, walk-in corner pantry, quality cabinetry and a raised bar all combine into an ambient and comfortable cooking space, all overlooking the lounge and dining room. Sliding glass doors open to a paved patio, great for entertaining outdoors in the more moderate months. A fully landscaped, fenced and retained rear yard boasts perfectly manicured hedges, lawns and garden beds. Mature plants soften the yard while a tool shed adds valuable outdoor storage. The home offers 3 bedrooms of very good proportions, all with quality carpets and window treatments. Bedroom 1 has a bay window, allowing natural light to infuse through the room, an ensuite bathroom and walk-in robe completing an impressive parent’s zone. Bedroom 2 offers a built-in robe and bedroom 3 is of good proportion. Two large, deep cupboards in the hallway provide ample storage. A cleverly designed 3 way bathroom allows for both resident and guest amenities with an open vanity making a salubrious statement. A laundry with external access door and plenty of storage cupboards completes the wet areas. A single garage with automatic roller door plus a rear roller door to a paved central courtyard also boasts an internal pedestrian door into the main home, allowing for easy and secure resident access and providing secure car parking for one vehicle. The rear roller door allows for a second car to be parked in the courtyard. There is also room for an additional two cars to park off street in the paved driveway.
