Upon entering the property, the water-feature creates a charming, soothing environment and the beautiful sandstone paving leads you to the front door. Upon opening, you will be taken back by the feeling of light, and practicality and spaciousness, indicating meticulous maintenance everywhere.

There are expansive polished porcelain tiles all through the ground floor, both glamorous and easily cleaned. Great if you have pets and a gardener in the house! In the expansive lounge, at one end is the hand-carved Carrerra (remember Michael Angelo?) marble fireplace with its effective 4.5 horsepower hydro heating, and the warmth of the bakers oven at the other end, next to the stairs. Quick cooking in the oven and on the top plates. The tiles warm up and stay warm in winter, yet in summer they are cool.

When walking into the triple sized chef’s kitchen, gleaming bench tops stretch out before you, with a choice of fan-forced gas stove or 2 fan forced electric ovens. You can dine in the kitchen, or go out to the private alfresco area, for informal barbeques, or into the light filled, sunny, formal dining area. The latter has river views. In the past it has been a billiard room, lounge, art studio, and a bedroom for a disabled friend with a bathroom, toilet and laundry around the corner. Internal access from the 2 car garage is welcome when you have heavy parcels to bring into the kitchen, which is hydro heated.

Upstairs, 4 generous sized bedrooms, one double and three queen, all have built-in wardrobes. Two have river views. You have two bathrooms to choose from.

Storage galore upstairs!! In the walls you have access to heaps of extra room. Pull down the European stairs to the loft. It is well lit and well ventilated, with double insulation, sturdy floor, and storage space the whole length of the house.

Surprises await you in the private back garden! Fruit and nut trees, grape vines, and well mulched herb and veggie gardens keep you well fed. Imagine going out in the garden to pick fruit for breakfast, and gathering veggies and herbs for the main meal! Raised beds make it easy for those who do not like to bend.

Saving you even more money are the 12 solar panels. You win all-round with this classy, well maintained and very practical house for all family members, in all seasons.
