LAND: 1146m2 (over 1/4 acre). Located in the heart of the beautiful village setting where properties seldomly become available is the delightfully established large residential allotment. Fronting the reserve, the position in this highly sought after district enables plenty of room to entertain in style and enjoy the fresh air only the hills can offer yet only minutes from the suburbs. The front gardens have been thoughtfully designed and completed to highlight and compliment the home whilst being low maintenance and attractive. The double width driveway along with the walkway is paved in red clay pavers with decorative inserts that have been purposely selected to match the heritage tiled porch. Standard roses are the ideal choice here and border the walkway and porch. An irrigation system is in place. The rear yard is a great environment for the children and pets to play as there is plenty of lawned area and is secured by quality colourbond fencing. The red brick paving extends from the front gardens, around the entire home and is a feature of the back yard by way of small retaining walls and landing area in front of the shedding complex. There is even provisions for a pool if desired.
RESIDENCE: The striking appearance of the 1997 constructed family home is emphasised by the triple gables and sandstone block facade. The bullnose colourbond verandah and heritage lighting is in keeping with the heritage themes and colours of the home. Inside, the 9 foot ceilings host 4 ceiling roses and victoria cove cornices and with the high timber skirtings displays the elegance of this home. The lounge and dining rooms have a semi-open layout which combine to have a spacious feel yet with the quality carpets and window treatments keep it warm and formal. The casual living section of the home combines the kitchen, casual meals and family living room.
Opposite facing sliding doors provide external entry and allow those lovely cool summer breezes to flow through. This area is nicely tiled as is the major traffic areas of the home. The kitchen itself is very nice with recently upgraded 'Omega' cooking appliances being gas cooktop and built in oven. Equipped with a 'Miele' dishwasher, built in pantry and granite bench tops, this modern appointed kitchen with a hint of country feel is a delight. One of the many design upgrades of this home is that 3 of the 4 bedrooms have good size walk in robes. The main bedroom has the ensuite bathroom as is similarly tiled to the main 3 way bathroom which has a large 4 door vanity with overhead mirror, large shower alcove and bath, floor to ceiling tiles and the toilet is separate. More storage is available in the laundry with another built in cupboard. It doesn't end there with a sizable attic accessed by pull down ladder giving yet even more storage space or use as a den or kids play room. Amongst other fine upgrades to this home there is a ducted evaporative cooling system and radiant ceiling heating system.
IMPROVEMENTS: Under the main roof is the double garage which has twin automatic roller doors at the front and a single roller door at the rear to allow a vehicular or passage to the back yard. A single personal access door takes you to the home via the pergola. Here, this high pitched (18") structure has colourbond roofing with light panels and sits above a paved floor. Positioned off the family room it's a great spot to entertain and relax. Can't have a hills property without a good shed and the 25' x 25' colourbond shed with automatic panel door is ideal with concrete floor, power and extensive fluorescent lighting it is sure to serve your interests. A section behind this shed has a powered area with lighting which includes a work bench. This area has been previously used to fillet the days catch before heading to the BBQ. There is also a garden shed with paved floor and modular rainwater tank.
