Also included within this beautiful property is a massive cellar with multiple rooms, 2 extra dedicated and private study zones, plenty of places to sit in the natural light of the window sill and watch the world go by - or read a good book! Ducted floor heating and air conditioning throughout keep the home cosy or cool depending on the season. The laundry has ample storage and external access, and the convenience of an extra separate WC. Sought-after side access wraps up the property's features so you can keep your valuable toys tucked away. All this on a good-sized 652sqm block.
