From the time you pull up in the paved driveway of this brick and tile home, it’s clear this is a quality-built, solid and attractive property.
The double brick and tile home occupies an elevated 684sqm block with neatly trimmed lawns and flowering shrubs and a beautiful feature phoenix palm at the front.
The gardens make a fitting setting for the smart home, but it’s when you walk inside that it really delights, especially for the size of the rooms and the far-reaching outlook over the rooftops to Mt Melville from the lounge, dining area and kitchen.
This is a generous home, perfect for families – or for couples needing to accommodate grandchildren or other guests – and it has excellent indoor and outdoor living areas for entertaining.
Inside, it is sunny and light, with clean décor and big windows adding to the warm, inviting ambience.
At the front is the sizeable lounge with a wood fire, down two steps from the adjoining dining area, which opens onto the kitchen with electric appliances and a walk-in pantry.
A door separates the living area from the bedrooms and the main bathroom complete with bath, shower and vanity.
Both family bedrooms are good-sized doubles with built-in robes and the master bedroom at the front shares the view and has a sizeable walk-in robe with shelving and hanging space, as well as an en suite bathroom.
At the back door is a spacious patio, covered and sheltered from the weather, the ideal spot for happy family barbecues.
A lawn and smart garden beds create a green, private oasis in the yard, which is fully enclosed for children and pets and has a garden shed and a rainwater tank.
The double garage has undercover access to the front of the home, where there’s a sheltered veranda for sitting out and taking in the view.
Families will love the proximity to a primary school, supermarket, fuel outlet, sports grounds and gym. It’s also only about five minutes’ drive to the CBD and within a bike ride of the high school.
In a quiet street of similar quality homes, this delivers comfort and security in abundance – most desirable factors for occupants of any age.
It will appeal to families, downsizers not willing to sacrifice quality and space, or investors wanting a low-maintenance rental.
