Modern, with four bedrooms and set on the edge of the Otane village with a large double garage and extra off-street parking, a huge wrap around deck that takes in the all-day sun and an awesome in-ground swimming pool with entertaining area! With a north facing orientation, the sun pours in creating a light and warm ambience throughout. Alongside two double bedrooms, with in-built double wardrobes, sits the large master bedroom with walk-through wardrobe and ensuite. The fourth bedroom is slightly smaller and would be the perfect home office or craft/sewing room. The main bathroom features a shower over the bath and sits alongside the separate toilet. Functionality has been key to the design of this home with no wasted space, privacy from neighbours and multiple areas to relax, entertain and have some family fun. This is showcased by the open plan living, kitchen and dining area which flows onto the wrap around deck through large stacker doors creating great indoor-outdoor flow. Cleverly set just off the kitchen is the laundry, hidden behind bi-folding doors with a great use of space between both areas. Kept warm and dry by a heat pump and HRV system and there is plenty of storage throughout for all your family needs. Otane has so much to offer, with the local Sports Club, Primary School, hotel, store, cafe, tennis courts and high school buses all within walking distance.
