This stunning multi-level home boasts a rear northern aspect, ensuring cooling easterly breezes, and is situated on a spacious corner block. The front section (top level) features original hoop pine floors, VJ walls, and elegant pressed metal ceilings.

Two bedrooms flow off the grand hallway, seamlessly merging with the contemporary dual-level extension. The upper level of this new wing offers two additional bedrooms, a rumpus/second living area, and a bathroom-ideal for a young, growing family.

The ground level impresses with a floor-to-ceiling polycarbonate wall that floods the space with light while maintaining privacy. The home showcases high ceilings, voids, exposed beams, and polished concrete flooring. The custom kitchen is equipped with white stone benchtops, a Carrara marble splashback, a walk-in pantry, and space for a plumbed fridge. European appliances, including a pyrolytic oven, induction cooktop, and dishwasher, make this kitchen a chef's dream.

The open-plan lounge and dining areas seamlessly flow through bi-fold and sliding stacker doors to a glorious northern yard with an outdoor entertaining area. The intimate and private yard offers the perfect amount of space for a young family to enjoy with minimal maintenance required.

The backyard leads to a granny flat, complete with an ensuite, clever storage solutions, a private courtyard, workshop, and carport with a separate driveway.

The unique design on the Eastern wall features floor-to-ceiling doors that open to fill the home with cooling breezes. This house features keyless entry and a master key that opens every door in the home and flat. The double remote integrated garage offers ample storage space and a laundry area. Fully fenced front and rear yards provide plenty of space for children and pets to play. The home also includes reverse cycle air-conditioning throughout and louvred windows to capture breezes.

The kitchen/dining area boasts 2.7-metre-high ceilings, 3.3 metres in the living area, a 6-metre void, and soaring raked rooflines on the upper level, reflective of the original cottage's roof.
