Here’s a home that has seen a story or two. A home where, if you close your eyes, you can almost hear the clatter of shared dinners with the family, or joyful ruckus of visiting grandkids.

The home is simple, but gracious, and has evolved gradually to accept convenient technologies while retaining the ever cocooning feeling of warmth. The homes facade is built around its centrepiece paved al fresco area which is raised proudly, looking beyond the secluded screen of the lush, easy care gardens and to the views of the mounts and glimpses of water beyond.

It is embraced on either side with rooms that also make the most of the vista with huge expanses of sparkling glass- framing the masterpiece view of the formal lounge room and the master bedroom.

Stepping inside, the entrance hallway is an event in itself, dwarfing you with its extra width, and creating a seamless connection between living areas and sleeping quarters.

The combined lounge and dining room is an ideal setting for family interaction, with reverse cycle air conditioning, a tile fire, modern drapes to screen the massive windows when required and a cheerful palate of sky blue and cream.

A sliding door from the dining area welcomes you into the homely kitchen, wonderfully spick and span, with plenty of cupboard space, an upright gas oven and stove, large pantry and mini breakfast bar.

Leading away from the living areas, the hallway displays a hearty full wall of closet space, for linen and to keep your knick-knacks out of sight.

Each of the two double minor bedrooms are painted in a modern camel tone, which upcycles the retro striped carpet to give the feeling of newness.

The master bedroom is commanding, with its full wall stretch of windows, his and hers built in robes, and huge size allowing for a large bed with room leftover for stylish occasional furniture.

Conveniently tucked away at the end of the hall, there is a separate toilet room, and a family sized bathroom with modern gloss white vanity, glass shower cubicle and bath with unique cover so that the bath itself may be used as a storage shelf when not in use.

Running along the rear of the home is a gloriously warm sunroom, which is fully lined and insulated to create a lovely spot to curl up with a book, sip a cup of tea or in which to create an active games room.

The entire home is fitted with access ramps at the major doorways to allow easy manoeuvring of a wheelchair, walking frame or pram. Leading from it, the giant sized laundry has room for storage, as well as the laundering necessities.

Stepping outside, and the rear yard folds out with a series of garden room and handy places. Through a rose flanked garden archway you discover a lush blanket of lawn, the clothesline and surrounding easy care garden beds with lush native and tropical plantings. Continue further and you happen upon a thriving veggie patch with raised garden beds, a stand-alone water tank and a woodshed for keeping that winter warming resource nice and dry.

The massive older style garage packs its own surprise, the electric doors which effortlessly rise to open to the huge space, with separate workshop, benches, tool hanging walls and storage space.

Peaceful, placid and warm- a real home with real soul.
