** UNDER OFFER **Resting lightly in a landscape that blends productive gardens, established fruit trees and majestic gums, this light-filled home offers the very best of a Hills lifestyle a short walk from the community-minded village of Glen Forrest. Ample glazing, an east-west orientation and a flowing floorplan blur the distinction between indoor and outdoor spaces and ensure aspects of the beauty and peace of this lateral, battle-axe block are captured throughout the home. Blackbutt timber floors, a predominantly pale grey interior and a pitched ceiling in the central living zone fashion a luminous welcome with a pleasing sense of generosity. As suited to the daily demands of family life as social gatherings, this span of a family room, meals area and a large galley kitchen leads seamlessly to the shelter of an alfresco entertaining area extending across the rear of the home. Large junior bedrooms and a spacious study suitable for use as a third junior bedroom or nursery for a young child offer flexible accommodation for children of all ages. A short flight of stairs separates the junior bedrooms from the elevated principal suite. Dual aspect glazing and a recently constructed deck create the impression that this large, well-appointed parents' retreat floats above the landscape. The east-facing deck is dappled with the shade of a magnificent mulberry tree and looks across plantings of fruit trees and a vegetable garden. Testament to the passion and commitment of the current owners, the gardens are an excellent example of blending food-bearing plants with the native ecosystem to create a degree of self-sufficiency with respect for the environment. This atmosphere of balance and down-to-earth practicality is underlined by an address with pedestrian access to the heart of the village, where community gardens, sporting facilities and an old-fashioned shopping strip with good coffee await. A choice of nearby local schools, easy access to arterial roads, and kilometres of walking and riding along the Heritage Trail are all on the doorstep of this beautiful nest in nature.
