Superbly proportioned, this majestic treasure features a double door entry into the grand parlour, double doors to the elegant sitting room (fireplace), north facing dining room, a downstairs main bedroom (BIRs & ensuite), a purpose built cook’s kitchen with stainless steel benchtops, a Jarrah movable island, 2 Siemens ovens, Fisher & Paykel dish drawers and a WI pantry; and a modern family room with bi-fold doors onto a Tuscan style paved alfresco area in lush green gardens.

The first floor was originally built as a dance studio, and now features 2 large bedrooms (BIRs), a casual living area and huge terrace balcony for entertaining, a kitchenette and tasteful bathroom.
