Overview

DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER, THIS HOME IS FULL OF SURPRISES!

Deceptively spacious, meticulously maintained and perfectly suited to multigenerational family living. There are some homes that simply cannot be appreciated from the street and this is certainly one of them. From the moment you arrive, the beautifully maintained gardens and pathways give you an indication of just how lovingly this property has been cared for. However, it is only once you step inside that you begin to understand the incredible size, scale and versatility this low-set block home has to offer. If you have a large or extended family, elderly parents you would like to keep close, older children still living at home, or you simply want a home offering multiple living zones and plenty of room to spread out, this property deserves your attention. A lovely covered front entry welcomes you to the home, with beautiful slate flooring creating a warm and inviting first impression. Generous enough to accommodate outdoor furniture, this is much more than simply an entrance, it is a wonderful additional space to sit with your morning coffee, relax with a book or enjoy a drink with friends. Step inside and you are welcomed into the main tiled, open-plan living area. Air-conditioned for year-round comfort, this generous space incorporates a good-sized lounge and excellent dining area positioned alongside the substantial family kitchen. Designed with practicality in mind, the kitchen provides an abundance of bench and cupboard space, double sink, electric glass cooktop, wall oven and rangehood. A large window overlooks the rear entertaining area, allowing plenty of natural light into the heart of the home. Stepping down from the kitchen is an exceptionally generous laundry with direct access to the side of the home and clothesline – another example of the practical design and generous proportions found throughout this property. One of the homes many surprises is an additional large, fully tiled living room. Originally utilised as garage space, this room is legal height and has been transformed into an incredibly versatile area complete with air-conditioning, ceiling fan, built-in storage and sliding glass doors opening directly onto the covered front patio. Depending on your family’s needs, this could make an outstanding media room, games room, teenage retreat, home business space, gym or simply another substantial living area. From the dining area, sliding glass doors open onto the very generous rear entertaining patio. Continuing the attractive slate flooring seen at the front of the property, this is a wonderful space for family gatherings, weekend barbecues and entertaining friends, with plenty of room for a substantial outdoor setting. SPACE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY AND THEN SOME Positioned toward the front of the home is the spacious master bedroom, complete with air-conditioning, ceiling fan and two-door built-in wardrobe. The additional bedroom nearby is also generously proportioned and features air-conditioning, ceiling fan and built-in storage. Conveniently located at the end of the hallway is a separate toilet, with the main family bathroom positioned adjacent. The bathroom offers the practicality of a shower over bath, corner vanity and the added bonus of a built-in linen cupboard. But it is toward the rear of the home where this property reveals perhaps its biggest surprise. Opposite the main bathroom is another large tiled, air-conditioned room with ceiling fan and built-in storage. This space could easily function as an additional bedroom, home office, children's playroom, private lounge or retreat. Double sliding doors then connect this area to an enormous ensuite bedroom suite, creating an exceptional private zone within the home. The ensuite itself is particularly spacious and incorporates a toilet, vanity and large easy-access shower. Importantly, it has been designed to provide excellent accessibility for someone using a wheelchair or requiring additional mobility assistance. This entire section of the home creates a rare opportunity for genuine multigenerational living. For families caring for an elderly parent or relative who wants to maintain their independence while remaining close to family, the configuration is exceptional. Equally, it could be ideal for adult children, long-term guests or simply those wanting a private second bedroom suite away from the main living areas. Beautiful stained-glass double timber doors open from this space directly onto the rear patio, providing its occupants with their own easy access outdoors and a lovely place to enjoy a quiet morning coffee or afternoon drink. It is this flexibility that truly sets the property apart. OUTSIDE CONTINUES TO IMPRESS Excellent side access leads through to a generous double-bay shed, providing fantastic additional vehicle accommodation, workshop space or storage for all the extras. Despite the shed and substantial footprint of the home, there is still an impressive amount of usable yard remaining. For families dreaming of adding a swimming pool, children's play equipment or trampoline, or simply wanting plenty of room for children and pets to enjoy, the generous block provides wonderful flexibility. The established gardens, pathways and immaculate presentation surrounding the property are testament to the care that has gone into maintaining this home over the years. Conveniently positioned in Walkerston, the property offers easy access to local shopping, schools and everyday amenities while providing the space and versatility increasingly difficult to find in today's market.
