This happy home has been cherished by the current family for 16 years who are now on to their next adventure. The family has exceeded themselves with tasteful renovations. Constructed with weatherboard and plaster over brick, the home offers a flexible 259sqm floor plan. It is perfect for a family of any age, with an en-suite master bedroom on the main floor, which could also suit a downsizing couple.

The light-filled open plan kitchen forms the hub of this home, with an island stone benchtop, double ovens and fantastic connection to the deck for casual living and dining. A separate lounge off this open plan living connects through French doors to the charming landscaped front garden.

Across the hall is the sunny master bedroom, with bay window seat, en-suite and walk in robe, creating a cosy retreat at the end of the day. A generous family bathroom completes this level.
