A double combustion fireplace creates a perfect space for cosy relaxation through winter.<br/><br/>An adjacent fifth bedroom or study provides a flexible space for busy households, while a central library is a wonderful reading room or formal dining, if that's more your style.<br/><br/>Offering plenty of room for the family to hang out and cook together, the contemporary kitchen is an exercise in everyday practicality, from abundant storage and flexible Caesarstone surfaces to Euro appliances, including dual ovens and a quick and efficient induction stovetop.<br/><br/>From the kitchen, enjoy easy flow through to the generous family room, your everyday scene for family meals, a spot of TV or long lunches and cocktail parties.<br/><br/>Basket Range stone and a gas feature fireplace set the tone for winter comfort, while a wall of glass (double glazed, no less) overlooking the swimming pool will have you eagerly anticipating sunny weekends at home.<br/><br/>Kids will appreciate the level lawn up top, and the occasional visiting koala or kangaroo.
