Upstairs, the master suite is beautifully appointed with a walk-in wardrobe and fully tiled ensuite, while the remaining bedrooms are serviced by a stunning tiled family bathroom and an additional upstairs living area.

One of the home's standout future-focused features is the cleverly designed wine cellar space, originally constructed with provisions allowing for a future lift installation - ideal for long-term convenience and accessibility.
