Set in one of Blackwood's most appealing streets, this three-bedroom home occupies a generous 2,819 sqm of inclined land, enjoying beautiful views across the Wombat State Forest and a wonderful sense of space and connection to its natural surroundings.
Inside, lovely timber floorboards bring warmth and character throughout, while the separate living area is centred around a wood combustion fire, while a Rinnai electric heater assists with quick comfort heating and a sliding set of doors provides direct access to the inviting deck, offering another place to sit back and take in the outlook, and enjoy birdlife visitors.
The updated U-shaped kitchen features an electric cooktop, and lots of upper and lower cabinetry for storage. An enclosed veranda provides a welcoming additional space to enjoy as a sunroom or reading retreat.
