“It’s a very unique home that offers plenty of positive for families and those visiting with caravans as there’s just so much space on the big block,” he said.
“And that pool is something special. It’s about $50,000 worth of pool so it’s a pretty spectacular addition,” he added.
Over two storeys, the residence features flexible living options with a modern kitchen, open plan living and dining area, deck and airconditioning throughout.

Although built in 1983, much of the home has been updated and it features a fresh colour scheme with timber floorboards, louvred windows and ceiling fans.
