Hidden gem

This enchanting 1950s residence has remained within the same family for an impressive 22 years, and it's easy to see why - it exudes an unparalleled sense of serenity and beauty and is simply a lovely place to live. Nestled within a tranquil no-exit street, it's not just a property; it's a sanctuary that beckons those who would appreciate a very versatile opportunity. This well-designed home ensures that both the living spaces and bedrooms are graced with captivating views and direct access to the sunny private garden.

The expansive central patio is the perfect space for that morning cup of coffee, al fresco dining, and quiet evening drinks. While the floors are presently carpeted, there is the potential for these to be polished adding a natural warmth. The living room is spacious for easy hosting, and the wood burner is a lovely focal point of the room. This generous space seamlessly flows into yet another sunny room, offering more intimate dining or a secondary living space. The kitchen has views of the gardens and presents exciting potential for renewal. An adjacent boot room connected to the kitchen and a separate laundry room further enhances the home's practicality.

The three generously sized bedrooms all feature natural timber built-in wardrobes and open up through a French door to the patio. The primary bedroom also boasts a contemporary ensuite. There is an additional room with independent external access and off-street parking, offering versatility as a peaceful work-from-home office to meet with clients or a nursery or hobby room. For buyers with a love of clothes, it would make a lovely dressing room.

The single garage has mezzanine storage and a workshop space and completing the picture is a purpose-built garden shed. The much-loved gardens elegantly complement the home and feature an array of fruit trees and mature shrubs. This home is a testament to space and the artful play of natural sunlight, with an effortless design that allows for easy living.
