The rear wing of the home has been cleverly designed to accommodate growing families, offering three additional bedrooms, all fitted with custom built-in robes, alongside a spacious third living or rumpus room that can also be closed off from the remainder of the home for added flexibility. The central family bathroom is equally impressive in both size and quality, featuring a separate bath, oversized shower, and large vanity with excellent storage, while a separate powder room adds further convenience for guests and everyday living. Continuing to impress, the oversized double garage offers direct internal access into a beautifully designed mudroom, highlighting the careful thought and practicality that has gone into every aspect of the home. A separate laundry with extensive storage and a large drying cupboard further enhances the home's functionality. Additional features include ducted central heating and evaporative cooling for year-round comfort, an Autel MaxiCharger AC Wallbox 22kW electric vehicle charger, and an outstanding SunPower solar system comprising 26 x 410W panels, delivering 10.66kW total module power and producing approximately 13,476kWh annually.
