American oak and Italian sandstone has been used throughout, and a modern living, dining, kitchen area on the ground floor flows out to an entertaining terrace for a seamless indoor/outdoor lifestyle.

On the first floor is a bedroom with superb ensuite and walk-in robe. Two bedrooms with built-in robes and a shared bathroom are also on this level.

A home office, storage rooms, laundry, garage, and barbecue area are on the basement level.

The home has a number of luxury inclusions, such as an internal lift servicing all floors, hydronic heating, electric blinds, ducted air-conditioning, and two guest powder rooms.

The property has a price guide of $4 million, and will go to auction on 12 March, at 11am.
