Home of the week: Genteel family living at its best in Bruce

You could easily get lost in the gardens at 4 Goldsworthy Place, with pockets of plantings creating a verdant oasis within the 1000 metre square block.

This greenery is interspersed with courtyards, a pergola and a stunning saltwater swimming pool. A covered outdoor area is perfect for entertainment, with built-in external speakers.

Inside, the home is just as spectacular. A large open-plan family room opens out onto the deck, with meals and lounge areas overlooked by the kitchen.

Acres of bench space and walk-in pantry are just the beginning in the kitchen. It also boasts an induction cooktop, St George 900mm oven, dishwasher and plumbed in fridge.

An additional formal lounge area and separate dining room make entertaining in style a breeze.

Each of the four bedrooms is spacious, with built-in robes and customised storage.

Segregation ensures perfect privacy within the king-sized main bedroom. The space boasts a large en suite with a separate toilet and in-slab heating, as well as a spacious robe.

Conveniences include a ducted vacuum, ducted gas heating, ducted evaporative airconditioning, a walk-in linen cupboard and an alarm system.
