Positioned on a generous corner block in a quiet cul-de-sac, 1 Oakham Place offers a spacious and versatile family home with plenty of room for everyone. Set close to parks, schools and everyday amenities, this large brick and tile home combines practical living, entertaining and excellent parking options.
A double-door entrance welcomes you into the home, with most of the house freshly painted and ready for its new owners. The split-level formal lounge or theatre area provides a comfortable space to relax, complete with a ceiling fan and reverse-cycle air conditioning. A separate multipurpose room, finished with modern tiles and surrounded by large windows overlooking the low-maintenance gardens, can be used as a formal dining room, activity room or home office.
The kitchen is designed for family living, featuring a Bosch dishwasher, gas cooktop, electric oven, walk-in pantry and a huge fridge recess. It overlooks the family pool and adjoining dining and entertaining areas, while the breakfast nook provides a handy place to relax or for the children to sit and play while meals are being prepared. There is also useful under-stair storage for cleaning products or bulk household items.
The entertaining area includes a bar and direct access to two undercover outdoor entertaining areas, making it easy to enjoy gatherings with family and friends. Beyond this is a below-ground saltwater concrete pool, solar heating and fitted with a brand-new filtration system. A decent-sized pool and garden shed provides additional storage, while a separate firepit area offers another space for entertaining or could be used as a children's play area.
The renovated king-size master bedroom is a standout, featuring modern vinyl plank flooring, a large window and four mirrored built-in robes with additional storage. The renovated ensuite has floor-to-ceiling tiling, a walk-in shower and toilet.
A ducted vacuum system services the home, adding everyday convenience.
Bedroom 2 is light and bright and positioned at the front of the home with a ceiling fan, whilst bedroom 3 has also been freshly painted.
A three-door storage cupboard in the hallway provides further practical storage.
Upstairs provides a private parents' or teenagers' retreat, with bedrooms 4 & 5 featuring double robes, a separate sitting area with views towards the local park, and a modern bathroom complete with bath, separate shower and toilet.
Outside, the low-maintenance gardens are complemented by mature trees, a herb garden and an established selection of fruit trees including custard apple, olive, fig, lemon, almond, bay, nectarine and apple.
Parking and access are another major advantage. The property includes a double garage plus two additional open parking spaces, together with both single and double side access. There is plenty of flexibility for parking a boat, camper trailer, trailer or small car behind the gates.
The home also features two gas hot-water systems, solar panels with two inverters and a large downstairs powder room. The powder room has the potential to be converted to include a shower, subject to removing some of the storage space at the rear.
With generous living areas, five bedrooms, two bathrooms, multiple entertaining spaces, a heated pool, excellent vehicle access, this substantial family home offers plenty of flexibility for the years ahead.
