Located on a quiet street, the home enjoys wide street frontage where native gardens and norfolk pines provide a privacy screen from the road. Completed in 2015, the design of this home was a true labour of love. The façade is inspired by Fremantle architecture with exposed limestone and red brick and a rendered finish.

A verandah with easy care composite decking runs along the front of the home providing the perfect spot to chat with passing neighbours.
