Sitting high on the elevated allotment, the home enjoys a superb vista across the township to the surrounding rural landscape and ranges beyond. Three generous bedrooms, formal sitting room and a dining area are found in the original section of the home, a more recent extension and meticulous renovation includes: a classic styled kitchen, family living area, beautifully appointed bathroom and a utilities room.
