Set amongst approximately five acres of lightly treed country, this beautifully presented homestead offers an enviable combination of space, privacy, practicality and country lifestyle appeal.
From the moment you arrive, the property creates an immediate sense of openness. A generous circular driveway leads through the established grounds, beneath soaring trees and towards the home, where a full-width veranda framed by colourful roses provides a welcoming first impression.
Beautifully constructed with Mt Gambier limestone, the home has been thoughtfully designed to provide a versatile floorplan for family living. Four bedrooms include a generous master suite complete with ensuite and walk-in robe, while the family bathroom, separate toilet and well-appointed laundry with excellent storage add to the home's practicality.
At the centre of the home is the spacious open-plan living area, enhanced by 9-foot ceilings and an abundance of natural light. The timber kitchen is both functional and inviting, featuring generous preparation space and a wide breakfast bar that connects seamlessly with the dining and living zones.
A separate snug or second living area provides a cosy retreat, complete with quality carpet, while two split-system air conditioners and a wood heater provide year-round comfort. Large windows throughout the home capture the surrounding outlook, bringing the peaceful rural setting indoors.
The home's lovely easterly aspect is perfectly complemented by large glass doors opening to a semi-covered, decked entertaining area. An extension of the home's living space, this is an ideal spot for relaxed mornings, family gatherings or entertaining friends throughout the seasons.
