The House

We have lived here since before we had children, and they have now grown up and left. We have renovated and extended the original 1948 house, so it is now a comfortable family home, easy to live in, with carpet and cork floors, central heating and 4 reverse cycle air conditioners. We find it easy to relax here at the end of the day. We like to live outdoors when we can, so have a dining area and barbecue in the garden, as well as a heated inground spa pool. The main bedroom has a queen size bed, the second also has a queen size bed. The third bedroom is now a painting studio.
With grandchildren now, we also have a child's mattress. And toys of course, so our home is also suitable for small children..
We have wireless internet and an iMac.
Lyn loves cooking so we recently renovated the kitchen and walk in pantry.
We have good men's and women's road and hybrid bikes suitable for rides right around Melbourne on the bike trails. so you can explore the whole city and beyond, and avoid most roads.

The things we love about living here
