The home sits perched behind a neat white picket fence; its bold use of rendered colour giving it a subtle modernity that is well complemented by its cottage-style facade. Both sides of the entrance are adorned with established gardens of palms, shrubs and dense ferns, creating an appealing entry point through the garage to the main entrance at the side of the property.

Marble benchtops and white cabinetry give a luxurious feel to the space while ample storage solutions provide complete functionality.

The dining area then opens out to the home’s back deck through screened glass doors offering uninterrupted views over the yard. This covered entertaining platform is also easily accessible from the kitchen and serving area.
