Entering the home, the black and white colour combination makes an impressive statement with black granite floor tiles and white leather lounge. A stand-out feature is the hardwood timber staircase with glass panels and stainless steel hand rail. The gourmet kitchen has custom-built drawers that are all soft closing, and the black granite splashbacks and stainless steel appliances contrasts beautifully against the white corian bench tops and cupboards.

The kitchen overlooks a good-size family room with the double bi-fold doors opening onto a veranda and courtyard. This space outside has the potential to be a fabulous outdoor entertaining area for cocktail parties, dinners and barbecues with friends.

On this floor there's also a laundry and a large master bedroom with walk-in robes through to the en suite. I love that even the bed linen continues on with the black and white colour theme.

Upstairs there is a living area with its own balcony, which the owner is utilising as a home office, but, because of its size, could also serve as a TV or rumpus room. There are also two good-sized bedrooms, a powder room and a black and white bathroom that exudes elegance.

The double garage completes the home and, for added security, the property is equipped with CCTV cameras.

Located in a quiet cul-de-sac on a small block, this home is the perfect bachelor pad or home for young professionals, where a sleek and modern home is desirable, gardens are low maintenance and entertaining and shopping precincts are all close by.
