High fences create an immediate sense of arrival, shielding this corner lot and establishing an atmosphere of private retreat. A wide gate slides open to reveal striking horizontal Zincalume cladding, a contemporary addition that perfectly suits its Hills setting.
Step through the entrance and discover a generously proportioned family room that immediately establishes the home's welcoming character. The slow combustion fireplace promises cosy winter evenings, creating a focal point that draws family and friends together. A large casement doorway frames the entry to the L-shaped kitchen, establishing sight lines that keep family life connected.
The kitchen is a lesson in thoughtful modernisation. This ample, practical space features a new 900mm La Germania oven that will inspire culinary adventures, complemented by a walk-in pantry that solves storage challenges before they arise. The dishwasher and ample under-bench cabinets create a cook's dream, where functionality meets style in perfect harmony. Glass doors open seamlessly to the paved outdoor entertaining area, where the high roof and garden surrounds create an irresistible invitation to dine alfresco.
The home's thoughtful layout continues with a front-positioned junior bedroom and home office/playroom, both recently carpeted and blessed with south-facing windows. These spaces offer flexibility for growing families, whether accommodating overnight guests, providing dedicated work-from-home areas, or creating imaginative play spaces for children.
Beyond the central hallway lies the expansive bedroom wing. Four generously proportioned bedrooms allow families to choose their preferred principal suite based on aspect, size, or personal preference. The family bathroom features granite-look tiles and a stone vanity. A separate WC and spacious walk-through laundry complete this wing, ensuring practical family life flows smoothly.
At the eastern face of the home, a wide paved verandah runs the full length of the building. This covered outdoor room provides additional living space and connects seamlessly with the garden beyond. A covered storage area at one end solves the eternal challenge of storing bicycles and garden equipment, keeping necessities accessible while keeping them out of sight.
Outside, the property transforms into a productive paradise that embodies the classic Hills lifestyle. Established shade trees provide natural cooling and create intimate garden rooms, connected by pathways that invite exploration and discovery. Raised garden beds promise fresh vegetables for the family table, creating opportunities for children to discover where food comes from. The fruit trees – lime, avocado, mango, and mandarin – offer seasonal harvests. A powered workshop sits ready for weekend projects and hobbies. Two chicken coops provide homes for feathered friends and the promise of freshly laid eggs for breakfast.
Here, families can enjoy privacy without isolation, productive gardens and modern comfort without sacrificing character. The corner lot position provides space, and a pair of high gates offers convenient access and opportunities for outdoor living that extend far beyond the typical backyard. Lake Leschenaultia and the Heritage Trail are minutes away.
Discover a way of living that prioritises family, embraces sustainability, and celebrates the unique advantages of Hills life. Some secrets are worth keeping, but this extraordinary family home deserves to be discovered.
