Cherished and tightly held by one family home for over 50 years, #11 was built in 1972 to enjoy the cascading valley aspect, across Bellevue Heights, the Sturt George and beyond. From the street - the home sits slightly low-set and private, behind established greenery, with a sweeping driveway into leading you down to the double carport and front door.
Here you can start to see the homes attractive design elements Norwegian-style brick profiles, large timber framed windows and subtle Spanish influences. As they often did back then the home is solid double brick! And single brick internal. Original character remains throughout, with ornate cornices, timber joinery and feature ceilings, archways, cool light fittings and subtle contemporary features. The combination of combustion woodfire and classic Vulcan gas heater is quite versatile and adds to the personality & appeal of the home.
At a generous 179sqm of internal living space, there's plenty of room to move, entertain and relax! The home grew with the family over the years, with extensions creating a spacious, largely open-plan arrangement where the living, dining, kitchen and lounge areas flow naturally together.
The kitchen provides plentiful cabinetry, practical bench space and gas cooking, with exciting scope to modernise, introduce your own style or open up the floorplan even further to create a wonderful central hub for family living and entertaining.
Towards the rear, an extended lounge provides another inviting living space, featuring attractive timber-lined ceilings, exposed beams and large windows framing the surrounding treetops. It's a lovely room, filled with natural light and enjoying a wonderful connection with the outdoors and on the balcony - snippets of the sea!
Smartly, the bedroom accommodation is separated from the main living areas. Four well sized bedrooms occupy their own wing, each with built-in robes, ceiling fans and convenient access to two bathrooms.
Downstairs provides potential for a fifth bedroom & third bathroom. Needing a bit of love & attention, the services are there!
The space does introduce excellent versatility, offering the potential for a teenage retreat, home office, creative studio or perhaps a dedicated theatre room. To the right you will also find a substantial under-home cellar and storage area, adding another practical dimension to the property - painstakingly hand dug by the sellers!

Beyond the terraced gardens and bird watching station, the allotment continues down into an expansive, natural valley setting. Where mature trees and native vegetation create an environment more suited to reserve than a suburban yard! What a place for the kids to play and for you to picnic in the comfort of your own backyard.
