This split-level stunner sits in one of the Hills' most beloved pockets; the community-connected and pretty Glen Forrest. It's a family favourite for good reason; you'll feel it the moment you arrive with the first big exhale. Here, your kids can spend their precious downtime inventing games only they understand in the native gardens, the family pooch can sunbathe on the lawn, and you can sit on the glorious veranda with a coffee and watch the rays of sunshine melt through the trees. With a generous corner block and two driveways, there's room for everyone and all their favourite things - including bikes, trikes, and big toys. Plus, thanks to a 2015 revamp that reimagined the heart of the home with a new kitchen, scullery, buffet station, and sunken lounge that spills out to the veranda, this is the kind of modern Hills haven that makes family life easier.
Inside is all style. High raked ceilings crowned with LED and pendant lighting, engineered wood floors underfoot, and plantation shutters with beautiful drapes all team up to create that effortlessly chic, editorial spread vibe. The elevated contemporary kitchen boasts Essa stone benchtops and a central island with not only breakfast seating, but a charging station and it all overlooks the dining and living zone. The main bedroom includes a large sliding wardrobe and ensuite dressed head-to-toe in floor-to-ceiling tiling, floating vanity, and walk-in rain shower worthy of a boutique hotel. Three more bedrooms each have customised built-in robes and the family bathroom echoes the same luxe finishes. Add in a laundry with linen storage and separate WC, security screened doors, ducted air circulator, wood burning fire, and neutral tones throughout and you've got a home that's both luxuriously modern and soulfully soothing all at once.

Outside is a Hills dream; relaxed, rustic, and ready for long mornings/evenings/weekends with those you love. The gorgeous veranda wraps the house before stepping down into a dedicated firepit area. There's a back patio and fenced enclosure for pets, citrus and olive trees for your farm-to-table goals, and room for veggie beds or chooks or whatever self-sufficiency experiment you'd like to try your hand at. The powered workshop comes complete with water and 3-phase power, offering a dream space for hobbyists now and a golden opportunity for perhaps a Granny flat later, should you want to extend to one. With a mix of native (low-fuss, waterwise) gardens, lawn space, two driveways, and that unbeatable leafy outlook, this is the ultimate Hills starter home or the cosiest, snazziest, lowest stress downsizer around.
Whoever you are, this is lifestyle choices wrapped in charm and style.
