The beauty of the property is everywhere, from the Travertine stone floor tiles and feature wall on entry, to the outdoor shower area with glass balustrade. Not forgetting the 200sqm of grassed area with firepit and iron bark seating area - where you often can sport a koala in one of the beautiful nearby gums!
Inside, you will be greeted by a sunken open plan living and kitchen area.
