The large eat-in kitchen is adjacent to a north-facing sun-drenched sunroom - perfect for the colder months. The living room is spatially very generous, allowing ample space for, relaxing on the couch, hanging out by the fireplace or gathering around the dining table next a bay window looking over the front garden. For people with a yoga or other movement practice, the room can accommodate a few people at a time. The combustion wood fireplace brings atmosphere and warmth on colder days. The 1950s era-designed ‘pink’ bathroom has a separate shower and bath. A second toilet in the laundry is easily accessed from the kitchen.
Outside, the front and north side features a sun-filled verandah. A huge tiled east & west facing undercover back porch boasts a view of the back garden and views of the mountains - a perfect spot for outdoor eating or simply enjoying the garden and local birdlife . The large front and back yards have established gardens with figs, olives, lavender and many other plants including a large native garden.
Undercover parking is ample with 2 large double carports. The second carport is essentially not needed and could be used as space to create or for other sun-protected outdoor activities.
