A separate home office adjoining the contemporary updated bathroom enjoys a wonderful mountain aspect, and direct external access at the front entry.

A timber staircase leads down to the fully-tiled lower level of the house, where a huge additional lounge room provides the perfect recreation room or space for larger scale entertaining. This area steps out onto the encircling covered patio, vast level lawns and low maintenance private yards. Here, a half basketball court provides hours of entertainment for the kids, along with a swimming pool accompanied by a freestanding pool house with kitchenette.
