Set within the peaceful surrounds of Merryville Estate, this beautifully renovated home offers an inviting country change for families seeking space, comfort and a modern rural lifestyle. Fully updated and ready to enjoy, it sits among expansive lawns, complemented by a brand-new outdoor entertaining zone and sparkling swimming pool. The perfect setting for summer living and memorable Christmas gatherings.
Privately positioned on a generous 7,611sqm (1.88 acre) blank-canvas block, the property offers endless potential to shape into your ideal country retreat. The home has been extensively modernised in 2025, showcasing a fresh, light-filled palette. Brand-new carpet and tiling, repainted interiors and exterior, updated electricals and lighting. Custom joinery throughout, new fans and block-out blinds to all bedrooms. An 18kW ducted reverse-cycle system and a new continuous gas hot water unit.
At the heart of the home lies the showpiece kitchen, beautifully finished and designed for family living and effortless entertaining. It features waterfall stone benchtops, an impressive amount of storage, and a fully fitted walk-in pantry offering exceptional organisation and preparation space. Quality new Westinghouse appliances, including an induction cooktop, oven and dishwasher, elevate the space with modern efficiency and reliable performance. Sleek cabinetry, soft-close drawers and thoughtful layout choices make this kitchen not only stylish but highly functional for busy households.
Designed with families in mind, the layout is open, versatile and practical. Four generous bedrooms, including a master suite with walk-in robe and ensuite, are complemented by a separate study with built-in desk and shelving, and two updated bathrooms. Multiple living zones, from the open-plan family/dining area to the rumpus and separate lounge, ensure everyone has room to relax.
Outdoors, the property truly shines. Wide verandas encircle the home, while a newly installed insulated pergola with outdoor kitchen and BBQ flows to the 10.5m magna minerals pool, heated by a 19kW heat pump, an entertainer's dream and the ultimate backdrop for long summer days with family and friends.
Fresh landscaping, replanted boundary trees, a small orchard and curated plantings sit among sweeping lawns, creating both charm and space for future additions such as a shed, play areas or further gardens. An oversized four-car garage with workshop space completes the offering.
A fully modernised, welcoming home, this property blends contemporary comfort with the relaxed charm of country living, a place where summer fun thrives and family memories are made.
