Modern home with cosy Victorian vibe

The picket fence, cottage garden and wrought iron lace on the verandah set the scene for the feel of this lovely fourbedroom home.

With dado rails and traditional brass light-switches throughout and a fireplace with mantel in the family room, the Victorian styling creates a welcoming and friendly feel.

Polished wooden benches and a pressed-tin splashback continue the vintage detailing in the kitchen, which has a walk-in pantry and lots of storage space.

The kitchen, family and dining areas all look out over the timber-decked outdoor entertaining area and solar-heated pool to open parkland, giving the home a bright and spacious feel.

At the front of the house the master bedroom and second bedroom both have bay windows.

A good-sized walk-in robe and ensuite with shower, vanity and toilet complements the master bedroom and the second bedroom has a built-in robe.

At the rear of the house is the formal lounge with patio doors to the pool area, and two more bedrooms, one with walkin robe and one with built-in robe.

The main bathroom has shower, bath and vanity, plus a separate toilet.

A walk-in linen press/ironing room opens off the laundry which has access to the backyard and garden shed.

There is ducted evaporative cooling and gas heating throughout with a gas log fire in the family room for extra cosiness.

Ceiling fans in three of the bedrooms and above the outdoor entertaining area increase summer comfort.

The two-car garage has room for a workbench and extra storage, and a separate driveway gives access to a paved area suitable for trailer or caravan parking.

With the local shop just a walk across the park and the supermarket a short drive away, all main services are within easy reach.
