There’s plenty of space for their new cavoodle Harli to run around in the private 4760sq m grounds with manicured tropical gardens.
The four-bedroom 1985-built homestead has open plan contemporary living space, modern kitchen with walk in pantry, a pool and a separate newly renovated bungalow.
The home, last traded for $1.85 million in 2018, was sold snappily by First National Byron Bay agent Tara Torkkola, who was asking $2.195 million.
