The high ceilings showcasing beautifully carved light Oak beams create an air of grandeur, complemented by exquisitely crafted crystal chandeliers. Black aluminium-framed colonial bar windows and sliding doors frame the exterior, while a carefully chosen colour palette of neutral white and oatmeal and hints of exposed red brick, along with subtle accents of sage green, contribute to the home's striking visual appeal. Glistening glass railings add a touch of modern elegance to the overall aesthetic.

The ground floor revolves around entertainment, featuring a sunny North-facing screeded open-plan sitting area and bar, complete with glass-enclosed wine storage. Sliding doors seamlessly connect to a shaded terrace overlooking a lush lawn surrounded by mature trees, white flowers and carefully tended greenery. A heated sun-splashed salt pool, surrounded by elegant frameless glass balustrading, lies adjacent to the perfect undercover barbeque area.
