Set behind a wide front lawn, this weatherboard residence offers a flexible and private family living environment on a substantial 878sqm block. The design features two distinct living zones under one roof that allow for comfortable separation of spaces, ideal for families requiring flexibility and privacy.

The primary section of the home includes three bedrooms equipped with built-in wardrobes, serviced by a centrally located bathroom, a functional kitchen, and a welcoming living area. The house benefits from natural light filtration, air conditioning, ceiling fans and plantation shutters, enhancing comfort throughout daily living.
