There’s a porch entrance leading into a large living room with deep windows and French doors to the west. A sleek Italian staircase rises from here to the first floor.
The living room connects through to the dining room and large kitchen which is finished in white high-gloss units.
Worktops are Corian with cherry wood breakfast counter and the main cooker is Fisher and Paykel, with Baumatic appliances, an American fridge, espresso maker and Fisher and Paykel dishwasher tucked under the island unit.
The kitchen is open plan to the dining room with lots of windows and doors and there’s a utility and guest bathroom, along with an office making up the rest of the space.
The first floor has oak flooring throughout and includes a master bedroom with full suite, a second en suite bedroom and two more double rooms with main bathroom. This includes a Jacuzzi bath.
The house comes with an enclosed patio area at the back and is wired for Cat 6 cabling.
