‘‘It’s superbly specified and has all sorts of extras, like timber in the eaves and a central vacuuming system.

‘‘This is the kind of family home where you’d stay 20 years or more – initially to raise your own children and then to host your grandchildren.’’

The property has a rateable value of $1.45 million and a deadline sale date of February 14.
