The modern kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring, engineered stone benchtops, and a substantial 900-millimetre freestanding stove that makes entertaining a pleasure. The luxurious master bathroom continues the quality theme with contemporary tiling, a spacious double shower, and his and her vanities – your own private retreat at the end of each day.

With 6 generous bedrooms and an office, there's space for the whole family, home offices, or guest accommodation, while the internally accessed double garage adds convenience and security, and the expansive 1,083sqm section provides room for gardens, play areas, or simply enjoying those incredible city views.
