Don't judge a book by its cover. This home has undergone extensive renovation and extension, inside and out and offers comfort and excellent content. The established tree lined driveway reveals the newly landscaped garden which extends to the lush lawns and picturesque outlook. Step inside and enjoy the new kitchen, a very functional and well appointed space with engineered stone benchtops, quality appliances, a scullery and ample cupboard and drawer space. The dining area opens to wooden decking and the outdoor entertaining area with built in BBQ. The split level lounge is spacious with a feature brick and timber fire surround and sliding stacker doors opening to a concrete patio with pergola. The 273m home encompasses an office, or 4th bedroom, plus another three double bedrooms. The upstairs master bedroom has a walk-in robe, storage cupboards and beautifully appointed ensuite. A ranchslider opens to your own private balcony overlooking the leafy grounds.
