These areas are made bright and airy with plenty of 6-light casement windows and French doors showcasing glimpses of the greenery outside the home. The kitchen is simply irresistible with quality appliances including a Siemens Induction cooktop, Bosch wall oven and dishwasher and hidden behind cabinetry, a Fisher & Paykel integrated refrigerator and freezer. Beautiful runs of white marble caesarstone feature above an abundance of storage cabinetry. The owners love their coffee and have painstakingly plumbed in connections for you to bring your favourite machine. Two large mechanical hopper windows make this kitchen easy to serve through to the full house-width, south facing deck meaning the area is established for entertaining with ease and perfection. Only contributing further, is the relaxing lounge space and great vantage point to oversee the lush gardens, creative lawn area and extensive architectural pool area. The main bathroom is fitted with period fittings including a clawfoot bath showcased with black and white tiling.
