Most new homes in Ara Hills are built to a budget. This one is built to be lived in, with 161m² (approx.) of thoughtfully planned space and the finishes to match.

At its centre is the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. The living flows straight out to a private deck for long summer evenings and weekend entertaining.

The main bedroom is a retreat of its own, with an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. Two further bedrooms share a family bathroom, and a built-in study nook gives you a spot for homework or working from home.

Comfort is built in year-round, with ducted heating & air conditioning and under-floor heating in the bathrooms. Outside, the cedar and weatherboard exterior and easy-care landscaping mean less time on upkeep and more time enjoying the home.
