The open-plan kitchen, lounge, and dining area create the heart of the home, offering space to gather, share meals, or unwind after a day in the sun. Step outside to the deck, where outdoor furniture, a BBQ, and an outdoor sink make alfresco dining effortless and enjoyable. All four bedrooms are designed for comfort, while the two bathrooms ensure convenience for everyone. The layout balances shared spaces with private areas, giving both connection and moments of quiet when needed.
