Set on an impressive 3,267sqm parcel in leafy Glen Forrest, this expansive family home offers a rare blend of space, flexibility and future potential. Occupying just under an acre of usable land, the property delivers the kind of lifestyle that is becoming increasingly difficult to secure. Here, children can grow up with room to roam, families can spread out in comfort, and generations can remain connected while still enjoying their own sense of independence. The substantial five bedroom home provides generous proportions throughout, with multiple living areas creating spaces to gather, celebrate and unwind. While the residence itself is ready for a new owner to inject fresh vision and creativity, the scale and opportunity on offer are undeniable.
Features include:
• Late 1970s brick and tile home • Room for all the family inside and out • Needs some TLC or full renovation • 5 bedrooms all with built in robes • 2 bathrooms • Lounge and dining rooms • Open plan informal living area • Big games room with bar (amazing timber slab top) • Split system air conditioning • Huge gabled patio perfect for entertaining • 4-6 seater spa • Below ground fibreglass swimming pool • Single freestanding carport • 2 bedroom granny flat beautifully decked out and well separated from the house • 10m x 7m shed • 5kw solar panel system • Ample space to park and manoeuvre vehicles • 3,267sqm block (just under 1 acre) • Walk to local shopping centre and public transport.
At the heart of the outdoor experience lies a spectacular entertaining zone designed for making memories on the grandest of scales. Picture long summer afternoons spent beside the sparkling below-ground pool, while family and friends gather beneath the enormous gabled patio for birthdays, barbecues and milestone celebrations. Whether hosting festive occasions or simply enjoying a slow weekend at home, this outstanding alfresco setting delivers the relaxed Hills lifestyle so many buyers aspire to achieve. Combined with the sprawling grounds and established infrastructure, the property offers an enviable balance between space, recreation and everyday practicality.
Adding another layer of appeal is the beautifully presented two-bedroom granny flat, thoughtfully separated from the main residence and offering exceptional versatility. Perfect for multi-generational living, independent teenagers, visiting guests or additional income potential, it provides a level of flexibility rarely found in properties of this calibre. Beyond the accommodation, a substantial 10m x 7m shed offers ample space for hobbies, storage or workshop pursuits, while the convenient location places local shopping and public transport within walking distance.
Opportunities such as this are increasingly scarce: a large landholding, a substantial family home, a quality granny flat and outstanding lifestyle infrastructure all wrapped into one compelling package. For buyers with vision, this is a chance to create something truly special while enjoying the benefits of an address that already has so much to offer.
