Last Listing description (November 2024)

Where relaxing with family and friends is all important, this home is designed around hosting special celebrations and creating those memories that will last a lifetime! Beautifully presented, extended and renovated throughout, blending old world charm with contemporary finishes, this is the ultimate home for all ages, designed around entertaining and easy, level living. Incorporating many extra, quality inclusions and added luxuries, there are few homes of this size, quality and versatility in layout, with a floorplan that can accommodate multiple living areas or up to five bedrooms!

From the street, the proportions, the quietness and privacy this home affords is surprising! Once inside, this home draws you in with its high ceilings, ambient ducted underfloor heating for year round comfort, neutral colour scheme, ceiling roses in the original section and the glimpse at the end of the hallway of what lies ahead....the gorgeous, contemporary open plan living space at the rear of this home!

Currently set up with a large separate formal lounge at the front of the home, with an ambient gas fireplace for cosy nights in-front of the fire watching a movie after the children are in bed, this room has previously been used as the fifth bedroom when needed. The main bedroom has a walk through robe and beautiful modern en-suite. All the bedrooms can be closed off from the main living space that opens out onto a Modwood deck, partially covered with UV polycarbonate roofing for all weather enjoyment with its own outdoor kitchen for entertaining on a larger scale. The kitchen is timeless with quality stone benchtops, a generous island bench fitted with a hot and cold Billi, insinkerator, 900mm stove and walk-in pantry. Open plan with practical polished floorboards, high ceilings and windows, this area is drenched in natural lighting. Double glazed sliding doors connect these indoor/outdoor living spaces seemlessly.

If you are not into gardening or are after a low maintenance garden, this is certainly the home for you! While there is no lawn, there is plenty of space for potted plants, plus an apricot and a nectarine tree and a good sized potting shed/hothouse for tinkering in. Underhouse storage in addition to the single garage with a remote rollerdoor and a second off street parking space, this property really does have it all!

On the bus route, within easy walking distance to the New Town Shopping Plaza, cafes and selection of local schools, you won't find a more convenient location.
