A leadlight feature skylight hangs over an impressive stone-topped kitchen island with a bar stool inset and built-in storage. Other features include additional bench space, ample built-in cupboards and pantry storage, glass hutch cabinetry, and Falcon vintage-style stove.

The nearby dining area opens timber bi-fold doors to create an expansive dining experience to be enjoyed while admiring the custom cast-iron lacework and detailed Australian Bluestone and imported-marble verandah.

The functional layout separates four large bedrooms and a study across the left half of the property, enhancing space and privacy. At the front is the opulent master bedroom with a stunning bay window plus a large ensuite bathroom and walk-in robe.

Surrounding the home, is substantial land that is a mix of functional and recreational spaces. An embellished outdoor pavilion features cast-iron detailing and durable roofing for year-round dining and entertaining. Make use of the nearby outdoor bar and additional kitchen, with pizza oven, and servery to host large scale family events celebrating life’s important milestones.
