Head for the Hills to this charming rural retreat
This is your calling to head for the Hills and enjoy more space and time to do the things that you love. A farmhouse-style property that just feels like home with a timeless Federation-style front with gorgeous verandah surrounded by lush, manicured gardens. Set on a corner block with fabulous side access to a large workshop, and towered by native trees opposite a bush reserve, your family will have over half an acre of land to explore. This is a beautiful place where the kids can be kids, while the adults breathe freely.
The home has been lovingly cared for and has recently been updated with oak-look, hardwearing vinyl plank flooring and a tasteful, modern lighting design throughout. It is an open-plan layout of generous proportions, the kitchen, meals and family rooms featuring the rawness of exposed natural limestone brickwork and are flooded with natural light and outside scenes with windows at every corner. You can envision everyday life flowing effortlessly here, with a functional kitchen that offers serene bush and garden views, serving as the heart of the home, while a separate dining and lounge space offers the opportunity to escape the bustling activity.
A comfortable, spacious and cosy master bedroom brings the outside in with bay windows that are softened with beautiful blockout curtains. The ensuite has recently undergone a complete renovation showcasing incredible workmanship with a sleek undermounted sink, stone benchtop and a large, pristine shower offering spa-like comfort every day. The additional three bedrooms are all well-appointed, two with built-in robes and ceiling fans, all complete with plush carpet and manual roller shutters for ultimate comfort.
Natural limestone is followed through to the beautifully maintained backyard, with lush garden beds brimming with verdant greenery and mature fruit trees providing oranges, limes and avocados in abundance. It is the perfect setting for the entire family to carry out their passions with a cosy verandah for relaxing, a raised gazebo for entertaining, and a huge powered workshop for creating. Tradies will love it! The property is fully fenced, with quality Colorbond to two boundaries and the side gate provides access for any toys that you bring along, and why wouldn't you?
