Lifestyle was obviously the prime motivator when it came planning this architect designed home. Situated near the end of a quiet cul de sac, this leafy acreage offers a tremendous amount of privacy, a great outlook, plenty of facilities and potential to do much, much more with good access available to most of the property.
A sweeping bitumen driveway leads to the brick home and carport set well above the street. The residence has been positioned perfectly to catch the prevailing breezes. The property has no flooding issues and backs onto a reserve which includes a registered horse trail. The mature gardens encourage a great variety of native birds and King Parrots are a common sight. If you love nature you truly must inspect.
The open plan living areas are positioned around the spacious kitchen which features a double gas oven as well as a gas cooktop. The fridge space is plumbed, there's a Miele Dishwasher and plenty of storage. All living areas have easy-care polished timber floors and a soaring cathedral ceiling. The living, dining and family rooms all open directly to the deck which is wrapped around two sides of the home. Reverse-cycle air-conditioning is positioned throughout the living areas whilst the family room has a closed combustion fireplace which heats most of the home in winter.
Natural light floods into the home including in all 5 bedrooms. The main bedroom boasts a walk-in robe/ensuite and has a good level of separation from the other areas of the home. The main bedroom's outlook into the surrounding tree canopy is particularly delightful however all bedrooms provide a great view. The home office with it's built-in desks and storage could easily be converted into a sixth bedroom if required.
The decks are large enough to provide a number of outdoor, all weather, entertaining spaces including a huge dining/barbecue area. The decks overlook both the nature reserve and the sparkling inground saltwater pool with its ample timber sundeck.
There's a pile of popular extras including an alarm system, security cameras and security screens. A large laundry is another positive as well as great levels of storage throughout the home. Beneath the home is a tonne of storage and an enclosed workshop plus the Colourbond roof has recently been renewed. A 3,000 litre rainwater tank provides water for garden use and there are two chicken coops which could be utilised in a variety of ways.
