One of the most beautiful homes and gardens we've ever marketed, this home has been updated to an exceptional standard. With a new kitchen, new bathroom, new shower room, new bifold doors to the veranda and redecorated throughout, the home has stunning gardens, a driveway with space for 4+ vehicles and integral garage.
