- Central bathroom on the upper level
- Double remote garage
- Large, lower-level laundry
- Abundant under-house storage
- Security system/alarm
- Water tank

An expansive front verandah, intricate wrought-iron fretwork and manicured garden present a striking entrance to the home’s grand interior, characterised by towering ceilings, archways, polished floors and elaborate architraves.
