Last Listing description (February 2023)

When a builder renovates and extends their own home to cater for their growing family and provide space for work vehicles and tools, you know the result is going to be impressive as is the case at 61 Sun Hill Drive. The clever re-invention of this property now features a spacious split-level design offering four bedrooms, two bathrooms, two separate living areas, and a study a quiet spot if you still need space to work from home.

Lovely and private set behind tall fencing, and lush pine trees, there is a real sense of sanctuary inside this residence. Timber floors, and new carpet to the bedrooms, along with neutral dcor, provide a brilliant canvas for you to style to taste. The island kitchen forms the centrepiece of the open plan lounge and dining area on entry, parents can escape to their own wing at the rear, while everyone can come together in the upper level rumpus, which opens to the covered deck for easy indoor/outdoor entertaining. Here the elevation and leafy views will have you feeling like you are in a treehouse. A long side driveway is accessed via a secure carport culminating in an oversized double garage with extra parking or storage under the upper level deck.

This home is a sanctuary of rest and relaxation, yet you literally have Glenrock's coastal rainforest walks and bike trails on the doorstep, and Merewether Beach and Ocean Baths just five minutes away. It's a 10 minute stroll to Merewether Heights Public School and kindy and a five-minute drive to Westfield Kotara and The Junction.
