A great Australian dream

On a clear day you can literally see forever from this magnificent, oneyearold Australian homestead surrounded by wide timberdecked verandahs.

Set on one elevated acre and built up to capture the views to Western Port and beyond, this property encompasses all that is the essence of Australia.
Double leadlightfeatured doors give access to the formal entry with vaulted ceiling and cloakroom.
The master suite is located at the front of the home and is complete with very large walkin robe and full ensuite.
Enormous picture windows to the south side of the house afford fantastic views from the formal lounge/dining room and the kitchen/family room.
An open fire to the formal lounge room and central ducted heating ensure the home is always cosy.
The blackwood timber trim and bench tops over vinylwrap cupboards add more style to the already modern kitchen which has gas hot plates set in an island bench with rangehood canopy over, electric oven and walkin pantry.
Adjoining is the sunken family room with access to the rear verandah.
Three additional bedrooms have four builtin robes, while the study or fifth bedroom has double builtin robes.
All are served by the family bathroom, which is complete with bath and vanity, while a separate shower room with dressing bench allow for more than one member of the family to bathe in privacy. There is also a separate toilet.
The laundry has builtin cupboards and benches and access to the rear yard.
All the bedrooms are larger than normal as are the living areas open space seems to have been one of the priorities when designing this home.
Other features include 2700mm ceilings, quality carpets, ceramic tiles and drapes, solar hot water system and blackwood timber benchtops used in the bathrooms.
Everything is of the best standard.
A raised section of the rear verandah, just off the family room, has been tiled to form an external living area, ideal for entertaining and showing off the views to friends.
A double garage under the home has two remotecontrolled roller doors, direct access to the home and concrete floor and along with underhouse storage ensures the ‘boys toys’ are all secure.
The garden is young, but establishing nicely and there is a Ushaped driveway.
A paddock to the rear of the property is ideal for a dog or pony.
