Across the road from St Peter's College
Located in the Selandra Rise estate, 48 Mackillop Way puts the morning drop-off within sight of the front porch. No car queue, no hunting for a park, no leaving twenty minutes early. For a family with kids at the school, or heading there in the next few years, that alone changes the shape of the week.
The rest of the home backs it up. It's a sensible single storey layout that keeps bedrooms, living and the garage each in their own zone, so the house works just as well at 7am on a school day as it does on a slow Sunday.
Living and dining run along the rear of the home in one open, light-filled space, with the kitchen set into the corner between them. It's the part of the house where everyone ends up, and it's been laid out that way on purpose.
A walk-around bench, a full-height fridge cavity and a double sink, so dinner gets made while homework gets supervised and the conversation keeps going. The dining area opens straight out to the back yard, which means the kids can drift between inside and out while you keep an eye on them from the bench.
Bedrooms and bathrooms
The main bedroom sits at the front of the home, away from the living area, with its own walk-in robe and ensuite. The ensuite includes a separate shower and twin basins, which takes the pressure off busy mornings.
Bedroom two has a built-in robe and sits beside the family bathroom, which offers a bath, a shower and a separate toilet. A small study tucked alongside gives you a quiet spot for homework, or a proper working-from-home desk that isn't the kitchen table.
Bedroom three is set off the laundry on the other side of the house. That bit of distance is useful for a teenager who wants their own corner, for guests, or for anyone keeping different hours to the rest of the household.
Garage, comfort and running costs
The double garage has internal access, so the shopping comes straight inside and nobody gets wet in winter. A rear door from the garage leads out to the yard, handy for the mower, the bikes and the bins.
Solar panels on the roof help with the bills, and reverse cycle heating and cooling was installed in 2025, so the home is comfortable year-round without the running costs of an older system.
