Warm, eco-friendly timber floors throughout instil a timeless aesthetic with travertine fireplace surround an elegant statement in the formal lounge. A second sitting room with floor to ceiling glazing flanks a sleek designer kitchen with Edison pendants, tiled walls, stainless steel appliances and island bench. Bedrooms on the lower levels include one with deck access and spacious master quarters with private terrace and a walk-through dressing room to a suave tiled ensuite. Two more fully tiled on-trend bathrooms echo the same sophisticated theme with black tapware and fittings, vessel basins, superb stone floors and in the family version - a partitioned wet room with back-to-wall bathtub. A bespoke laundry hub and more storage is at the rear of the carpeted internal access double garaging.

A freehold 427 sqm section is intentionally low maintenance and features statement tropical palm, hardy plantings bordering courtyards, flat fenced pet-friendly lawns, and sunny patios.
