Last Listing description (April 2020)
Tucked behind lush foliage on a tranquil Narrabundah street, you'll discover this four bedroom, high-ceiling family home is ready and waiting for you to move in.
Stepping through the welcoming entrance, on the right is the exquisite lounge room. Freshly painted and carpeted, complete with brick fireplace, this haven for relaxation is filled with the sunlight which pours in through the large glass doors.
And on the left is the large master bedroom, with picturesque cottage windows which let the dappled light spread across the room. The other three bedrooms, two with built-in robes, offer quiet solitude.
Stepping back into the hall and through to the main bathroom, you'll feel how light and spacious it is. You'll also see just how much storage is on offer - a feature noticeable throughout the house. The second bathroom-laundry combo forms the perfect team with a newly renovated shower, meaning if you have a larger family, or guests staying, there's plenty of amenities to go around.
The original kitchen has been so well maintained, its retro vibe will be the highlight when you entertain friends or family. Rest assured though, you'll find all the mod cons you need to cook up a feast.
And the stylish dining room is the perfect place to eat that feast. Floor-to-ceiling windows look out to the established gardens - which are low-maintenance, irrigated and hide little leafy nooks to escape to for a bit of "me time". In fact, you just may find the shade of the large oak tree is your new favourite spot.
A short five minute walk offers the convenience of Griffith shops, and walk just a little further to enjoy the boutique lifestyle of Manuka Village.
This much-loved and treasured property is part of a friendly community of families and long-term residents. This home really is what relaxing living is all about.
