This is a setting that delivers both lifestyle and practicality in equal measure.

Inside, the home reveals a warm and inviting interior that has been carefully cared for and beautifully updated over time. Three generous bedrooms, all with built-in robes, provide comfortable accommodation, with the master also featuring a ceiling fan and television port for added convenience. A separate north-facing study at the front of the home offers a peaceful and light-filled workspace, complete with an in-built desk and a stunning leafy outlook across the streetscape, making it an ideal environment for working from home or quiet reading.

The central living zones are designed for connection and comfort, with an open-plan kitchen and dining area flowing seamlessly into a spacious lounge. A gas log fire creates a cosy focal point, while a split system, ceiling fan, ducted central heating, and ducted evaporative cooling ensure year-round comfort throughout the home. The updated kitchen is both functional and inviting, featuring a 600mm oven, four-burner gas cooktop, dishwasher, and an abundance of bench and storage space, all bathed in natural light and offering a lovely outlook to the surrounding streetscape. The adjoining dining area includes a skylight and an in-built buffet, enhancing both storage and everyday functionality while reinforcing the home's sense of space and openness.

Double-glazed windows throughout most of the home further enhance comfort and energy efficiency, while the updated bathroom has been designed with practicality and storage in mind. At the rear, the laundry is well positioned alongside a separate toilet and excellent hallway storage that doubles as a mudroom area for the rear entrance, adding to the home's thoughtful design. New blinds installed throughout by local favourites Davidsons Blinds and a 5kW solar panel system help complete a home that is as efficient as it is comfortable.

Externally, the property continues to impress, set on a generous 825m² allotment with new boundary fencing on all three sides and beautifully landscaped, low-maintenance gardens that frame the home perfectly. The former double garage has been cleverly converted into a fully lined and insulated bungalow and separate workshop space, offering flexibility for those seeking a home office, studio, or additional living area, while still leaving ample room to add a carport or further shedding if desired. There is an undeniable warmth and homely feel throughout, a reflection of the genuine care and pride the current owner has invested over the years.
