Positioned on an expansive 2,220m² terraced property, the home is embraced by a beautifully established indigenous garden alive with birdsong and natural beauty. Carefully designed to be water-wise and low maintenance, the garden provides year-round colour while blending seamlessly into its surroundings. A sweeping paved driveway welcomes you through automated gates, revealing a residence of impressive scale and timeless elegance. Triple garages, generous parking, and a striking entrance immediately set the tone for what lies beyond.
