Rural bliss.
The homestead was built in 1994, a three- bedroom two-bathroom brick home.
On offer is a huge open plan kitchen, living and dining area. that is partially wrapped around by a veranda. Tall ceilings give this space an added touch of grandeur while the brick fireplace feature hints at the home’s vintage. This, combined with central heating, ensures the winter chill is no problem at all.
The timber kitchen is well equipped for the home cook that loves to entertain. There is plenty of cupboards, storage, bench and preparation space for moments when friends drop by and views of the colourful countryside that would make even jobs like washing up that little bit less worrisome.
This corner of the house is also home to a generous 3.6m x 4.5m office.
