The shady rainforest of foxtail palms and cycads continues to veil the property in the back garden and leads to the free-standing third bedroom which could be used as a granny-flat, teen retreat or home office. This massive room with so many versatile possibilities stands at 30 square metres and could be easily transformed into a stylish retreat with a small bathroom and kitchenette.

Behind this third bedroom, the garden leads down to a discrete clothes line for drying your clothes in the sun. With complete fencing around the property, its own covered garage and plenty of off-road parking space, this residence beckons a family who treasures light, space and safety.
