A Refreshing Family Lifestyle
If you have been dreaming of more space without losing your connection to the city, this beautifully updated 4-bedroom weatherboard home is an ideal solution. Set on approximately 4 hectares, this property offers a genuine country lifestyle where 1960s character meets contemporary family comfort. From the original polished timber floors to the mountain and valley views, this is a home designed for effortless family living.
A Home Designed for Family Life
The heart of the residence is a bright, open-plan space featuring a kitchen equipped with subway tiling and a convenient walk-in pantry. The stove was newly installed in 2023, and the dining area flows into a living room where large windows frame stunning country views. For those who love original character, the lounge fireplace is currently capped but offers the potential to be reinstated to its former glory.
The accommodation is perfectly suited for a growing family:
• Comfort Year-Round: A high-efficiency heat pump was installed in March 2023 and has been professionally maintained annually.
• Energy-Efficient Upgrades: A new, large 300L heat pump hot water cylinder—controllable via an app to maximize power savings—was installed in late 2024.
• The Master Suite: A sunny master bedroom featuring a private walk-in robe.
• Family Bathroom: Great for a busy household, featuring a modern double vanity alongside the character of the original pink bath and a separate shower cubicle.
• Professional Refresh: The separate cloakroom (toilet) was professionally gutted and replaced in 2025, now benefiting from a new vanity, fully tiled floor, and plenty of power sockets.
• Refined Interiors: Custom curtains and roller blinds were professionally installed throughout the lounge, main bedroom, kitchen and bathroom in 2024.
Space to Play, Grow, and Explore
Outside, the property provides a wonderful environment for children and pets to explore. The land offers a mix of cleared areas, terraced gardens, and sloping native forest at the rear—home to local echidnas, bandicoots, wombats, and diverse birdlife. Having previously hosted goats, chickens, and sheep, the acreage is well-suited for those looking to continue a lifestyle with livestock.
The extensive infrastructure has been meticulously updated for peace of mind:
• Water Security: Total storage of 29,000L (24,000L and 5,000L tanks) added in 2022, featuring a connected system with a new pump and a convenient street-side connection for easy water cartage refills.
• Storage & Outbuildings: The property includes a new tin shed on a fresh slab (2025) and a possum-proofed tool shed. The original 12m x 5m garage remains on-site, offering substantial space for storage.
• Fencing & Grounds: The interior yard features wallaby-proof fencing with a chicken wire skirt added in 2023 to keep the garden secure from wildlife.
• Ready for Revitalisation: While the existing goat shed and chicken coop are older, they provide a great foundation for those looking to embrace the hobby-farm lifestyle.
