This 4 or 5 bedroom home set over 2 levels displays many features added by the craftsman owners whose creativity is obvious in some of the marvellous woodwork throughout.

Entering via the elevated back deck with its spectacular western vistas towards the mountains, you encounter a grand kitchen/meals/lounge area with its split system heating and cooling and its welcoming wood combustion heater. The kitchen is truly a chef’s ideal with loads of storage spaces, big benches and a 5 burner gas hot plate/oven complex adjoining the wonderful walk-in pantry. A mudroom and a powder room are easily accessed near the massive rear deck which is ideal for summer entertainment and has been a marvellous adjunct for the vendors – a true entertainer’s delight.

All bedrooms have BIR’s and are large in their proportions and are serviced by a family bathroom with bath, shower and toilet. The downstairs main bedroom, the parents’ retreat, has its own deck (with views) and a lovely ensuite with shower and toilet – it is a treasured private area.

Outside, the property is very well fenced, is gently sloping and has a massive American Barn with roller doors, good shelving, concrete flooring and power – ideal as a workshop or for multiple car storage. There is excellent under-house access and great storage capacity. A terraced veggie garden is easily accessible and there is plenty of tank water for garden watering if required - another extra.

The house is double glazed throughout, there are 12 solar panels and many wind-down shutters if required. The property is on town water and is in a lovely hidden pocket very close to the town’s current northern boundary. This is a distinctive offering which would be well worth exploring.
