A great opportunity to secure a substantial home of solid brick construction in Shell Cove. Featuring a total floor area well above the local average, the ingenious layout of this residence provides for comfortable and relaxed everyday living as well as entertaining on an impressive scale.

From the covered veranda, the front door opens into a large foyer, from where two half flights of stairs lead to the lower and upper levels. The home office/study is located on the entrance level, windows providing a view of the garden and veranda; with ‘work from home’ continuing popular, it’s a space ideally situated for work, set subtly apart from the private areas of the home.

A deep pantry provides an impressive amount of storage for groceries and kitchen appliances.

All bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and a linen cupboard is situated in the hallway. For convenience, covered chutes located in both upstairs bathrooms deliver your wash items directly to the downstairs laundry room.

The fourth bedroom, another full bathroom, laundry room and linen storage are reached by a hall from the lounge, providing an added element of privacy ideal for a guest bedroom (or as a retreat for the teenager of the house).

And just when you thought there couldn’t possibly be any more space to brag about, there is a workshop tucked under the house, accessed from the side passage.
