The main living area serves as the heart of the residence, and is the first of many “wow” moments that people will have at an inspection.

“Entertaining and living here is a breeze,” he said.
“The kitchen-dining area connects to the living room, through to the sitting room and then a large sunny courtyard in an L-shape — it’s sensational,” he said.
