Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the ever-popular, leafy Hilldale Estate, this peaceful and private family haven offers the kind of warmth, charm and space that instantly feels like home.
Set on a generous 5,863sqm parcel, this delightful brick two-storey residence is full of character and perfectly designed for relaxed family living, with a strong focus on indoor-outdoor entertaining and everyday enjoyment.
Wrapped by verandahs on three sides, the home captures a beautiful storybook feel from the moment you arrive. Whether it is morning coffee while listening to the birdsong, lazy afternoons watching the kids play, or gathering with family and friends for long lunches outdoors, this is a home that embraces a slower, more connected way of life.
Inside, the lower level welcomes you with a light-filled entrance flowing through to a charming sitting area and a separate spacious living room. Polished timber floors, detailed cornices and rosettes, and a cosy gas fireplace all add to the warmth and personality of the home, while sliding glass doors open onto the covered timber verandah, seamlessly blending indoor comfort with outdoor living.
Plantation shutters & gable windows further enhance the home's timeless appeal, while multiple reverse cycle air-conditioning units provide year-round comfort throughout.
The kitchen is practical and inviting, positioned alongside the dining space to create an easy hub for daily life and entertaining alike. Having been updated over time, it offers plenty of drawer storage, a gas cooktop, electric oven, dishwasher, pantry and double sink, all while connecting beautifully to the verandahs for effortless indoor-outdoor dining.
Also on the lower level are three of the four generous bedrooms, each complete with built-in robes and carpet. The main bathroom has been tastefully renovated and features a beautiful deep soak egg bath, separate shower and separate toilet, while the laundry offers external access for added convenience and functionality.
Upstairs is a true parents' retreat, offering privacy, space and flexibility. The master suite is complemented by its own separate living area, a dedicated space to work from home, ample storage, a walk-in robe and ensuite. Adding to its charm, the master bedroom also enjoys a balcony and a cosy reading nook, creating the perfect sanctuary to unwind at the end of the day.
Externally is where family life truly comes into its own. Designed for fun, celebration and making memories, the outdoor spaces have been thoughtfully enjoyed for all seasons of the year.
A built-in slippery dip off the deck is sure to delight the kids, while the central covered alfresco area sets the scene for Christmas gatherings, special functions and relaxed family events. There is also a built-in BBQ area, a resurfaced covered, inground swimming pool and an outdoor fire pit, creating the perfect backdrop for entertaining and enjoyment no matter the season.
Whether it is a backyard cricket match, the kids riding their bikes around the yard, or simply sitting back with a drink or two shared with family and friends, this is a property where memories have been made in abundance and where many more are waiting to be created.
Adding even more practicality and versatility, the property offers excellent side access to the backyard for easy storage and convenience, along with a U-shaped concrete and paved driveway entrance that makes coming and going effortless. A double garage with a single roller door provides ample room for storage, workshop space or hobbies, while a separate studio complete with its own bathroom offers exciting potential as a future granny flat, guest accommodation or a private retreat for older children.
There is even a dedicated dark room with sink, originally built for a teenager with a passion for photography, adding yet another unique and character-filled element to this much-loved family property. Three additional separate carports provide abundant space for extra vehicles, as well as your van, trailer or weekend toys.
The property is on town water, town sewer & mains power. There is also a solar system on the roof & battery for energy efficiency and solar matting for the pool.
