The ground floor design consists of spacious open plan areas connecting living, dining, and kitchen with butler’s pantry. To the east of the ground floor an expansive Gallery walkway leads to 4 Bedrooms, bathroom and w.c. The west of the ground floor has large 3 car garaging and laundry area.
The open tread floating stair with glass balustrade gives an openness and light to the Entry Foyer and leads upstairs to an ample Master Bedroom with viewing Deck, large Ensuite and walk in robe and Study/ Office Area.
