Description:
This 4 + 1 bedroom, spacious family home is set right to the back of the large 1012 sm block, making it a private and secure inner city sanctuary. The current owners have lived here for 15 years and have never had a knock on the front door ! The property is secured with a 2.4m, block and colorbond fence around the entire boundary with front and back auto gates. There is a key locked smaller pedestrian gate for access at the front. The property has front and rear access from the back lane.
The front yard is a huge grassed field. Perfect for a game of cricket, footy, tiggy,... the kids will love the space to run. There is plenty of room for cars, boats, trailers, kids stuff and still room for a massive pool and entertaining area, as well as sheds and more. Plans were previously DA approved to add 2 x 3 bedroom units on the front but the owners filled the home with children and fell in love with the space ! It can also be subdivided into 2 blocks, putting another house on the front if desired.
The block has also been filled so it is nice & high.
Entry to this spacious, open & bright family home is via large double glass doors leading straight into a two storey glass foyer.
From there you can go straight into a large L Shaped living room with a verandah off it, overlooking the back corner of the yard. This verandah space is big enough to play handball and table tennis.
There are also 3 kids bedrooms on this level, all with built in desks, shelving and storage that the kids will just love ! They can have all their special things on display as well as have their own desk for study or play.
The kids bathroom and laundry are on the first floor
To the left as you come into the foyer you step down into a huge living area. This space was originally designed for a double garage so has the same dimensions. The whole front wall has floor to ceiling glass louvres with a view out to the yard. This room is large enough for a pool table or as a large theater room.
Upstairs has a parents retreat with nursery / study, ensuite and walk in robe. The ensuite is now ready for a fit out with double vanity, double shower plumbing and electrical ready to go.
Upstairs there is a beautiful large family kitchen and dining with a large verandah with views to Castle Hill.
