The Snapshot
Summer is forever when you've got an epic pool and spa combo like this. Whether it's a lazy float with your favourite playlist or a splash session with the crew, this backyard knows how to bring the good times. There's an alfresco zone ready for long lunches, a firepit corner made for marshmallow moments, and even a poolside studio for guests, creatives or teens who want their own retreat. It's the kind of setup that turns everyday living into a year-round holiday - and once you're in, you'll never want to leave.
The Home
There's something unexpected behind the humble façade of 3 Railway Avenue. Step inside, and you'll discover a dynamic family home that keeps on giving - whether you're after comfortable day-to-day living, room for visitors, or serious entertaining credentials. Renovated, extended, and reimagined over time, this home is brimming with surprises, and they all point to lifestyle.
The main residence blends character and comfort, with charming timber floorboards, soaring ceilings, and sunlit living spaces offering a welcoming base to make your own. Three bedrooms (two with built-ins), a neat main bathroom with a shower-over-bath, and a separate laundry with second shower and toilet make everyday routines easy, while the modern kitchen with five-burner gas cooktop, 900mm oven, and stainless steel appliances will appeal to home cooks and entertainers alike.
But it's what lies beyond the sliding doors that truly elevates this property. A spacious rear deck creates the perfect platform for weekend gatherings and lazy afternoons, stepping down to a generous backyard that's equal parts fun and functional. There's an established lawn, and a powered 6x6m shed with hoist-ready centre beam and workspace - all accessible via a side laneway for added convenience.
The real showstopper, though, is the self-contained studio. With a bedroom, full kitchen, bathroom, and living space, this flexible retreat is ideal for guests, teens, in-laws, or even potential rental income. There's also an adjacent container studio, currently used as an office or creative space. All of this is powered by two solar systems with separate inverters, ensuring energy efficiency across the main house, studio, and pool areas.
And speaking of pools this one is saltwater-chlorinated and a substantial 11m in size. There's also a separate electric-heated spa, and a beautiful alfresco area with a woodfire combustion heater that turns the space into an all-seasons destination.
From its multiple living zones and outdoor extras to its income potential and overall versatility, 3 Railway Avenue is full of personality and potential. Whether you're hosting, relaxing, working, or dreaming - this is a home that gives you room to do it all, and then some.
