Points of Distinction.
- The Scarcity of Space: A significant allotment offering the rare commodity of a true garden sanctuary, complete with mature trees, rolling lawns, and a lagoon style swimming pool.
- Generational Custodianship: Tightly held by the same family since 1987, reflecting the unrepeatable, long-term strategic value of this specific pocket.
- Structural Investment: Heavy capital has been systematically deployed across three major architectural renovations (1988, 1996, and 2017), ensuring the home is entirely future-proofed for immediate living.
The floorplan delivers a highly functional four-bedroom, three bathroom layout, supported by a dedicated double-desk workspace on the lower level and secure parking for two vehicles. It is a residence engineered for sophisticated family living without compromise. The quiet, highly residential microclimate that remains strictly shielded from major thoroughfare noise is the backdrop for family life to unfold.
