Built in 1975, this mid-century home has remained in the same family since the day it was completed. After years of moving from place to place with the army, the owners chose this block of land to settle permanently, creating a home that would carry them through decades of family life. What followed was a house that not only met the practical needs of daily living but also became a place for gathering, celebration, and memory-making.
The home offers four bedrooms and two bathrooms, thoughtfully designed to suit a growing family. The master bedroom includes a built-in wardrobe and ensuite, while three additional bedrooms, two with built-in robes, are serviced by a main bathroom with separate shower, bathtub, and a segregated toilet.
The living spaces are what make this home truly special. At its heart is a sunken lounge that captures light from every angle, its wide windows framing views of the established gardens and the pond beyond. The dining and kitchen are positioned at the heart of the home, with tiled flooring, a kitchen island and quality appliances including a Miele dishwasher, AEG induction cooktop and Westinghouse oven. A second lounge, added later, expands the home's capacity for larger gatherings, while the family room connects directly to the deck, creating a natural flow between indoors and out.
Outdoors, the property is framed by established gardens both front and rear, complete with a pond and shaded spaces that encourage time spent outside. The garden has been an evolving part of the home's story, a setting for children to play, quiet afternoons, and summer gatherings with extended family.
This home carries the hallmarks of its mid-century design, open spaces, clean lines, and practical flow. While also reflecting the life of the family who built it. It has hosted Christmases, birthdays, engagements and weddings, always offering the scale and warmth needed for large gatherings. After fifty years, it now offers its character, history and charm to new owners.
