Don't miss the chance to make it yours only changing hands once before, this home is on the market for the first time since 1997, having been cherished and renovated by the same family for over 26 years.

Upon entering, the sense of space is immediately apparent. Recently revitalised with a tasteful palette of fresh paint, new flooring, and thoughtful updates throughout, this home invites your family to move in effortlessly while leaving room for your personal touch to enhance its charm over time.

The heart of this home is a modest yet impressive kitchen, featuring laminate benchtops, a tiled splashback, brand-new appliances, and a built-in dishwasher. Ample bench, cupboard, and drawer space ensure a functional and stylish culinary experience.

The master wing, a sanctuary of comfort, is cleverly separated from other living areas. This expansive space boasts a generous walkthrough robe, an ensuite, and northerly windows that bathe the room in natural sunlight year-round, with direct access to a private courtyard. Two additional bedrooms, generously sized and complemented by built-in robes, share a well-appointed main bathroom.

Adding to the allure is a purpose-built sunroom, offering limitless possibilities for extended living options-an ideal space for a study, children's playroom, hobby room, gym, or studio.

The expansive grounds, though easy to maintain, provide ample opportunities for gardening enthusiasts to create a green oasis, complemented by a chicken coop and two generous rainwater tanks. The garden shed is split between storage, as well as a separate insulated space with power, lighting and tv aerial for multi-purpose use (teenage retreat, workshop, etc).

Comfort is paramount throughout the seasons with ducted evaporative cooling and gas heating. The home boasts an impressive Energy Efficiency Rating (EER) of 3 Stars, ensuring cost-effective heating and cooling year-round. Additionally, the property benefits from an 18 panel solar power system, contributing to sustainability.
