With wide road frontage that hosts double side access, the beautiful weatherboard home is screened by feature rocks and attractive gardens. The inviting entry is swathed in shades of green and juxtaposed by colourful bougainvillea blooms. Extending from the home is an enclosed portico that perfectly blends both the outdoors and indoors, creating the ideal spot to drop your bag and take off your shoes after a long day.
From here, the entry opens into the lounge room. High ceilings with ornate cornicing feel light and airy, as though you have room to stretch out and breathe, whilst the new carpet and slow combustion fireplace enfold you with a sense of warmth.
Opening into the adjoining dining area, you will feel as though you ve stepped into your very own observatory. Two walls of floor to ceiling windows overlook the manicured backyard, guiding your eye towards the city and valley beyond. You can see the world wake up around you, watch resident wildlife pass by or enjoy the natural vista as a breathtaking backdrop when entertaining.
Linked to both the lounge and dining areas is the glossy modern kitchen. Maximising every inch of space available, it features lots of overhead cabinetry, a built-in pantry, stainless steel electric cooking appliances and a dishwasher so cleaning up afterwards is effortless.
From the bedroom wing, double sliding doors open to the master bedroom whilst the second bedroom is tucked at the end. Both very generously sized with walls of built-in robe storage, their windows frame the outlook of the beautiful front garden like a work of art. Together they share the crisp white bathroom that s set beside the massive laundry and powder room.
Extending towards the valley is a small timber deck for lazy contemplation and cups of tea, whilst along the rear of the home is a protected landing for entertaining larger groups of friends and family. Adjacent to the main home is a fantastic separate studio that s complete with a sink and toilet. A wonderful addition, it would be ideal for you to work from home, accommodate guests, as an art studio or games room the choice is yours.
Fully fenced for cats and dogs, there is side access on the left to a single carport, an automatic garage adjoining the home and side access on the right to the backyard and 6x6 shed tucked in the far corner. Ideal for handymen and hobbyists, there is plenty of parking and even a workshop or storage space under the home.
The large 3736sqm property features lots of succulents and is easily maintained with automatic reticulation to ensure it stays a lush shade of green all year round. The sloping nature of the block and natural stone separate it into various zones. There is a shade house, vine covered arbour and fruitful orchard that you can graze for your afternoon snack.
Nestled in a quiet pocket, this property feels immensely private as you can t see any of your neighbours. You are within walking distance to two national parks and a short drive from the various shops, services and amenities in both Helena Valley and Darlington. Conveniently tucked between the heart of the Hills and Midland metropole, you really can enjoy the best of both worlds as everything you could want or need is close by.
