THIS palatial Federation-styled home may feel like you are hiding away in the bush, but in reality, you are only 15 minutes from the centre of town.
Behind each window, rural vistas abound and there are no nosey neighbours in sight, just more than two hectares of your own land to do with as you wish.
Designed to focus on the country life, the home features a wrap-around verandah with bullnose roofing that offers a combination of large areas for entertaining and cosy spots to just enjoy the views.
Inside, the home has been designed for entertaining and a busy family life. Large windows and three large skylights flood the home with natural light, creating a tranquil and welcoming space.
As far as highlights of this home, it is hard to go past the designer kitchen which won HIA kitchen of the year in 2010, and it is easy to see why.
Centrally located close to the dining and two living areas, this kitchen is a real show-stopper with red feature cupboards and Staron benchtops including breakfast bar with seating for four.
Appliances are stainless steel and state-of-the-art, and there is even under-cupboard lighting that further makes a feature of this modern kitchen.
Off the kitchen is a designated dining area that in turns adjoinsaformal living area that can be closed off from the rest of this open-plan living area.
A second, smaller sitting area is located on the other side of the kitchen.
All three living areas lead out to the verandah which at the front of the home widens dramatically to incorporate a large, undercover entertaining area.
The home boasts five bedrooms, or four bedrooms and a home office.
The home office includes plenty of built-in shelving and desk space.
The master bedroom enjoys access to the verandah and includes a walk-in wardrobe and en suite.
The remaining three bedrooms are all double in size with substantial built-in wardrobes.
While the office, master and bedroom two and three are located at the front of the home, bedroom four is found at the rear, ideal for a teenager.
A hallway runs from the front door to the living areas with a door allowing you to close off any noise from the living rooms getting to the front bedrooms.
The main bathroom offers spa bath and shower with a separate toilet and laundry found next to the bathroom.
Storage has been well planned in this home and you will find banks of built-in wardrobes opposite the bathroom and in the main hall as well as in the laundry.
All high traffic areas have tiled floors while the bedrooms and formal lounge are carpeted.
The property surrounding the home allows plenty of room for ponies, sheep or just roaming children, while the land closer to the home has been landscaped.
Completing the property is a dam, fed by a seasonal creek, grey water watering system for the gardens and a double garage, workshop and single car port.
