Indoor Areas
A long hallway provides access to the front Living Room (with 65" smart TV) which is a fantastic second area to spread out, and also has internal access to the Garage and Bedroom 1, which features a WIR and ensuite (with shower, toilet, double vanity & heat lamps). The huge central open plan Kitchen (with WIP)/Dining/Living Room (with 85" smart TV & a selection of card & board games) flows out to the rear Outdoor Living area. A side hallway leads to Bedroom 2, 3 and 4 (each with BIR), a fully equipped Laundry (with washing machine & clothes dryer, and direct access to the rear yard), a Bathroom (with bath, shower & heat lamps) and a separate Toilet.
Outdoor Areas
The huge rear partially covered Entertainers Deck (with gas BBQ, 10-seater table and bench seats for more) provides a fantastic place to relax and entertain overlooking the fully enclosed rear yard. The Double Garage (with fold up table tennis table & EV Charger) has space to park 2 cars, with additional space for 1 more car in the driveway.
Note: There are security cameras on the outside of the home, not facing any private areas.
