The Seachange 33
It is no surprise that the Seachange 33 was voted Victoria’s best family-friendly display home under $250 000 for 2008. It is a home that is perfect for the growing family and will adapt as children grow through infancy to adulthood.
The focal point of the home is the kitchen/family area around a central, covered alfresco. The huge kitchen and butler’s pantry make entertaining a breeze.
The very large rumpus room can accommodate a pool table or games table and is more than enough space for young children or a family of teenagers.
It has four generous bedrooms, with the minor bedrooms deliberately separated from the Master Suite to allow parental privacy, yet accommodate a large family or adult children at home.
Just across the passage from the Master Suite is the lounge room which can function equally well as a formal living room or home theatre.
The Seachange 33 has been a consistent best seller for us and it's now a MULTIPLE HIA WINNER.
