Outdoor living is equally inviting with an alfresco area easily accessible from both the lounge/dining and family rooms, perfect for cooking, dining, and relaxing in the fresh air.

The kitchen is designed for the chef, equipped with high-quality Bosch cooking appliances including a steam assist oven and a separate convection/microwave oven, a Miele dishwasher, twin sinks, and filtered water.
