Bursting with forever home potential, this property delivers on space, peace, nature, room for the kids, somewhere to grow veggies, keep a few animals, park the caravan, build the workshop, and still be close enough to grab milk without turning it into a major expedition. Set across a stunning two plus acres, this is the kind of home that suits your family now and for the next 10 years, but you may just find yourself celebrating your grandchildren's birthdays here decades later. For now, mornings can begin with coffee overlooking the winter creek. Afternoons can be spent exploring, kicking a footy on the lawn, or wandering down to the Helena River near the rear boundary. Come summer, the pool will be the go to spot. And although you'll feel tucked away on a peaceful rural retreat most of the time, you're literally within walking distance of Boya Library, the oval, cafes, shops, medical facilities, walking trails, and public transport. It really does offer everything you could dream of, both now and well into the future.
The home itself is immaculately maintained and has been freshly updated, beautifully blending the feel of a traditional family residence with the space of modern households. Fresh paint, brand-new carpet, beautiful Jarrah and timber-look flooring, bay windows, French doors, exposed timber beams, and a mix of plantation shutters and elegant drapery create a home that feels welcoming and carefully curated no matter which way you turn. The floorplan is wonderfully practical too, offering four generous bedrooms, two bathrooms, a dedicated home office that could easily become a fifth bedroom, separate parent and junior wings, and two comfortable living areas plus a dining space. At the heart of it all sits the country-style kitchen with timber cabinetry, breakfast seating, servery window, coffee buffet station, Bosch dishwasher and freestanding gas cooker, ready for everything from rushed school morning breakfasts to long lazy Sunday lunches. The spacious main suite enjoys patio access, a walk-in robe and beautifully appointed ensuite, so you really have a retreat within a retreat. Then there's the bonus studio; a versatile space perfect for home business, creative retreat, home gym, gaming room for tweens and teens, or even guest accommodation.

That sparkling saltwater pool promises unforgettable Summers, while the raised vegetable beds, lush lawns, established trees, and open pasture can be enjoyed from thoughtfully positioned seating areas throughout the yard.

This might be the best move you've ever made, just don't be surprised if it's the last one.
