Last Listing description (April 2018)
Here's an excellent opportunity to purchase an extensive home on a big block, with four garages, a shed, a huge patio and heaps of off-road parking.
There's enough land on the 1865sqm block to keep chooks, grow veggies and plant fruit trees, and still have space for the family to play.
Set back off the road in a quiet, leafy street, the brick and tile house also enjoys views towards the King River and rural land. Its location within easy reach of Great Southern Grammar and walking distance of popular King River and Oyster Harbour recreation and fishing spots enhances its appeal to families.
Generous living spaces comprise a lounge with a tile fire, and an adjoining dining area, which would easily accommodate a table with 12 place settings for celebration dinners - though the undercover, paved patio would probably be first choice during the summer months.
This patio, reached via a glass door from the dining room, is a real treat, with space for a barbecue, pizza oven and family-sized outdoor furniture.
Add to this a sizeable family or games room - or teens' retreat - with its own access to the patio, positioned well away from the main living area, and you get some idea of the excellent prospects for relaxed living, however big your tribe.
With lots of cabinetry, a breakfast bar and a new gas cooker, the kitchen is a pleasant workspace with space aplenty for catering for a crowd.
Off the hallway at the front is the generous master bedroom, complete with en suite shower, vanity and toilet, and a double built-in robe.
There's a hallway off the dining room leading to the other four bedrooms, three of which are doubles, and three have built-in robes. Also off the hall are the laundry, separate toilet and bathroom with shower, vanity and corner spa bath.
An abundance of storage cupboards is another advantage of this big home.
Secure parking of a boat, caravan and big vehicles would be no problem at all. A wide driveway leads down to the back yard and the four garages, two of which have high-clearance doors.
The land is mostly in grass with a section near the bottom, which is cleared except for a few tall gums and would make an ideal site for an orchard or horticulture venture.
For containing small children or the dog, there's also a fenced area of lawn reached via the patio.
If you love the outdoors, fishing, swimming and walking, you'll also love this appealing property and the location.
Another great advantage is the chance to add value to the home with a modernisation project, although it is well presented and very livable just as it is.
Well priced for this size of property, it's definitely worth an inspection if you have a brood of your own or grandchildren to accommodate, and want land, sheds and an abundance of space inside and out.
