Experience the enduring appeal of this villa-style home, beautifully crafted in classic weatherboard and set on a generous 1317 sq m section. The 249 sq m residence is complemented by covered outdoor living and wraparound verandas, while a separate 56 sq m double garage completes the picture. From the street, the home’s welcoming presence and immaculately maintained grounds immediately reflect the quality of its design and build.

Inside, high ceilings enhance the sense of space in the expansive living area, flooding the home with natural light. This space flows seamlessly to a covered outdoor retreat, privately positioned away from the street—ideal for evening relaxation or hosting barbecues on the sun-soaked deck, all within the safety of a fenced garden.

At one end of the living room, the kitchen enjoys views across the cul-de-sac and showcases refined Shaker-style cabinetry, stone benchtops, a pull-out pantry, tiled splashback, and a built-in range hood. Central heating provides year-round comfort, ensuring warmth in winter and cooling through the summer months.

The master suite is discreetly located at the rear of the home, complete with a walk-through wardrobe, en-suite, and glass doors opening to the deck and garden. The remaining bedrooms are all doubles, while a dedicated office near the front door is perfectly positioned for work or study. Bathrooms feature tiled showers, with a cocoon bath in the main, and the Shaker theme is carried through the cabinetry. A distinctive tongue-and-groove dado adds character and texture along the hallway.

The landscaping is a standout feature, with lush lawn inviting bare feet and timed irrigation systems throughout for ease of maintenance. The separate garage mirrors the home’s architectural style, while double gates provide rear access. This expansive section offers ample space for parking, play, and recreation, delivering both practicality and lifestyle appeal.

Fusing classic charm with contemporary design, this single-level home is a true sanctuary—an inviting place to relax, entertain, and come home to.
