Dechellis Homes’ Manhattan

Display Home – $250,001 to $400,000

About the home Striking from the outset and throughout, this is a large family home with 351.29sqm of total size. The Manhattan has four bedrooms, three living zones, 2.5 bathrooms, a corner alfresco and double garage. The 3.2m ceilings in the entrance create a fabulous presence on entry and the dedicated kids’ wing with a retreat at the front of the home will be a winner with families. A lavish monochrome kitchen and well-thought out storage, including a walk-in pantry leading to both the laundry and a store room, is a treat to find. But it’s the master suite with a private outdoor retreat plus a beautiful dressing room/ensuite that is the icing on the cake.
