Owners John and Dawn Eastwood bought it in 1998 as a grand home but they are responsible for making it the elegant residence it is today.
“The layout of the house attracted us, very much so,” Mr Eastwood said.
“But we’ve upgraded it quite substantially.
“Pat Cummings built the house and he had five children … so it’s quite a large house.”
Like a palace, the house is split into separate wings, with five bedrooms on one side and the main living areas on the other.
The backyard is just as elegant, with a sparkling white-tiled pool and manicured gardens setting the scene.

Harris Real Estate agent Karen Dorman, who is selling the property with Tobi McFadyen, said it would be difficult to replicate the house’s style today.
“To build something like that now, it would be very expensive,” she said.
It hasn’t been on the market long but Ms Dorman said it was already attracting interest from prospective buyers.
“It’s more from established families or people living locally who don’t want to build anything massive,” she said.
It is on the market with a price guide ranging between $1.45 million to $1.55 million.
