Owner Rachel May said the house was the kind of place that felt like home.

“It just has this homey feel to it with the timber flooring, the modern kitchen and the big deck,” she said.

“There are high ceilings in the media space and living and kitchen area, so the home has this big, open feel about it.

“And we love the pool and the indoor-outdoor flow.

“We could open the whole place up and we would be in and out the whole dry.”

The hub of the home is the open plan living, dining and kitchen space opening to the deck, outdoor kitchen and pool.

The indoor area has vaulted ceilings, timber floors and sliding doors, which open to the deck.

In the kitchen there is a walk-in pantry, 900mm gas cooker and island bench with breakfast bar.

On the deck there is a double barbecue with exhaust hood, built-in cabinetry and sink.

Ms May said the covered deck area was well-designed to be used all year round.

“Even in the wet season, you’re completely dry under there,” she said.

The deck is right next to the in-ground pool with glass fencing.

Entertaining is easy with the deck and pool off the living spaces.

Ms May said the layout of the home made it perfect for entertaining.

“We had Christmas there two years ago,” she said.

“We had everything open and the kids were in the pool.

“I could cook in the kitchen and still be involved in everything – I wasn’t shoved into a separate room and out of the loop.”

The home has a main bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, three additional bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and a media room with study, which could be used as a fifth bedroom.

There is a family bathroom, separate toilet and internal laundry, and the house is fully airconditioned.

The main bedroom has an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe.

A double carport at the front of the home keeps vehicles out of the weather and there is a storeroom off this space.

The property is in the popular neighbourhood of Lyons, close to Casuarina Square, Casuarina Beach, the university, private and public schools and the private and public hospitals.

“I love that the house is on a circuit and that it’s private,” Ms May said.

“There are lots of families on the street and it’s a good community to live in.

“And it’s so close to everything.”
