Four well-proportioned bedrooms provide flexibility for growing families, guests or those working from home, while the central bathroom features both a separate shower and bathtub. A large laundry with extensive storage and a practical sorting bench adds another layer of everyday convenience.

Step outdoors and discover a private garden sanctuary designed for making memories. Beautiful brick pathways wind through established gardens, while the expansive undercover pergola creates the perfect setting for long lunches, family celebrations, weekend barbecues or quiet afternoons spent enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

Completing the package is secure off-street parking for two vehicles, an eco-friendly water tank and a prized cul-de-sac position that offers peace, privacy and convenience in equal measure.
