The driveway is constructed with a combination of brick pavers and Morpeth Mix driveway strips and a central landscape median.

Built into the spacious kitchen is an abundance of sleek cabinetry, a generous island bench to compliment an open plan dining, while a luxurious glass wine room is a standout feature of the space.
