This is the type of property that shows obvious signs of pride in ownership, from the neat-as-a-pin outdoor areas to an immaculate interior lavished with bold feature walls that add personality and cheeriness. And when visitors arrive to enjoy relaxing inside or in the vast undercover outdoor area, the feeling of welcome is sure to be commented upon.
Living areas, in keeping with the house’s spirit, are generous – including the carpeted lounge-dining room where a rose-toned feature wall conveys a positive sweetness. But step into the adjoining family-meals-kitchen area and the Tuscan-orange wall speaks of action, a great shade for the undoubted centre of family happenings. It packs quite a punch when juxtaposed with the white walls, light-toned floorboards and white kitchen cabinetry.
The kitchen has plenty of storage and bench space, dishwasher, wall oven, and gas cooktop with stainless-steel splashback and canopy rangehood – and a timber-framed bifold servery to the outdoor zone. Perfect.
Each of the four bedrooms has built-in wardrobes, while the main has a whopping en suite, all modern and a-sparkle; it has a dual-basin vanity unit with heaps of storage, a double shower, and a large step-up spa in which to soak away the cares of the day in a space designed for pleasure.
Along with the aforementioned gabled pergola with ceiling fans, there’s another sheltered spot (under shadecloth) that stretches down one side, beautified with garden beds – so when seasons change, there’s a nice choice of where to sit with morning cuppa and newspaper.
The backyard has a good patch of lawn, garden beds edged in sandstone and, courtesy of tall trees in the neighbouring property at the back, a private leafy outlook.
A 7×8-metre shed could be made into the ultimate man-cave, or a workshop for a home handyman or hobbyist. And the double garage has drive-through access so no problems getting to yard or shed.
On about 940 square metres in Derrimut Heath estate, the house also has ducted heating, a split-system, ducted vacuum, camera security system – and three toilets.
