Description of our house
[
 ]
Our home is new (completed April 2011). It is built to a period style and is clean & spacious with a large verandah around the house. It has all the modern conveniences of a contemporary home. A lovely large modern kitchen. A double sided wood burner fire for the lounge & meals/family area. Ceiling fans to 4 areas. The main bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and a walk-in-robe, & the spare bathroom has a spa bath & shower. There are 2 other bedrooms (1 queen bed and 2 single beds)& a library (Peter's passion). Our property is on 1.2 acres & is full of trees & shrubs. Our garden is a work in progress and it takes time to build. We sometimes travel with a friend who has a very comfortable one bedroom apartment + sofa bed in St Kilda, which is an inner bayside suburb of Melbourne, and this property is also available when we travel together. The availability of this apartment will need to be confirmed for each exchange and is subject to our travel arrangements.
