Tucked away in the countryside just 20 minutes from the CBD is a picturesque slice of paradise. This established family home received a loving makeover inside and out, with new colour palette, window treatments, floor coverings and soft furnishings. A hint of country meets contemporary blended perfectly amongst the established gardens and rolling hillside.
